Two hurt as vehicle goes over cliff near Floyd Hill

Staff Writer

Two people were rescued from a vehicle that plunged over a 30-foot cliff late Wednesday on Aspen Drive near Floyd Hill. 

An Evergreen Fire/Rescue crew found the two victims trapped in the car when they responded to the 10:43 p.m. call in Clear Creek County, said EFR spokesman Doug Saba. 

Responders had to rappel down to the vehicle and extract the two women, who were transported to a Denver-area hospital.

The victims apparently became lost while traveling from Black Hawk, Saba said.
