CASTAIC, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say one man died after a pickup truck he was driving plunged 400 feet down a ravine in northern Los Angeles County, but his passenger survived two nights before being found alive.
California Highway Patrol spokesman Mike Logie tells the Santa Clarita Signal (https://bit.ly/1mbrAXR) that the 39-year-old Pacoima man who was found alive Sunday - 36 hours after the Friday crash - had hip and sternum injuries but was “happy to be here.”
The GMC Sierra went off a winding stretch of Lake Hughes Road near Interstate 5 in Castaic, killing the 64-year-old driver.
The passenger survived in the ravine through Friday and Saturday night until another driver saw skid marks on the road Sunday morning.
The survivor was taken to a hospital.
Neither man’s name has been released.
