Sheriff’s rescuers responded after a car went over the side of a mountain road in the Angeles National Forest on Thursday.

A sheriff’s helicopter was aiding in a rescue mission for the vehicle’s occupants, according to a tweet from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Special Enforcement Bureau.

The sheriff’s tweet stated the vehicle was 300 feet down from the road; CHP’s log said it was 100 feet down.

Aerial video from Sky5 showed the sheriff’s Rescue5 helicopter apparently airlifting a patient. It wasn’t clear how many people were in the ca or how many had been rescued.

The curving two-lane roadway, popular with bicyclists and motorcyclists, is north of Glendora in the San Gabriel Mountains.
