Two people used an iPhone 14's emergency SOS feature and were rescued after their car plunged some 300 feet into a canyon in the Angeles National Forest.
A man and woman used an iPhone 14's emergency SOS feature and were rescued Tuesday after their car plunged some 300 feet into a canyon in the Angeles National Forest, authorities said.
Shortly before, 2 p.m., the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Crescenta Valley station received a notification from an iPhone 14 via satellite service, the agency said. The victims, both in their 20s, had been involved in a single-vehicle crash near mile marker 18.87 in Monkey Canyon, where their car went "off the side of the mountain," according to the Montrose Search and Rescue Team.
"They were in a remote canyon with no cellular phone service" and were able to extricate themselves from the vehicle, the team said in a statement. Using the emergency satellite service on their iPhone 14, the victims were able to communicate to a relay center via text, authorities said. The center contacted the station, which dispatched the Search and Rescue Team, L.A. County firefighters, sheriff's patrol units and a helicopter.After the call center provided the latitude and longitude of the victims' location, the rescue helicopter was able to find them and lower a paramedic via cable.
Video provided by the Sheriff's Department shows the victims being hoisted into the helicopter. They were then transported to a hospital, authorities said.Related Topics
