Woman flown by Care Flight after vehicle plunges off embankment in Brunswick Canyon
A woman sustained non-life threatening injuries after the vehicle she was driving plunged 300 to 400 feet off an embankment into a canyon east of Carson City on Saturday morning, a Carson City sheriff’s sergeant said.
The 29-year-old woman was found at around 10 a.m. in Brunswick Canyon off Sedge Road by both Care Flight and Carson City Sheriff’s Office personnel.
Hikers called 911 dispatch at around 9:30 a.m. and said there was a vehicle that went down an mbankment and a woman who was injured, said Carson City Sheriff’s Sgt. Mike Cullen. The vehicle went straight down the embankment and did not appear to have rolled, said Cullen.
The hikers told officers they heard and saw the vehicle go down the cliff and went toward it where the injured was able to get out of walk toward them, said Cullen.
She was flown by Care Flight to Renown Medical Center in Reno. Her injuries are believed to be non life-threatening.
