(MENAFN) A US woman who mysteriously disappeared a week ago has been rescued from the bottom of a California coastal cliff where she survived by drinking water from the radiator of her wrecked vehicle.
According to the Monterey County Sheriff's Office spokesman, Angela Hernandez, 23, from Portland Oregon was found by a pair of hikers on Friday evening after they saw her wrecked Jeep Patriot SUV partially submerged at the bottom of a 60 meter cliff in the Big Sur area.
Her disappearance captured widespread attention after she and her vehicle were last seen on a surveillance camera video at a petrol station on July 6, about 80km north of the stretch of Highway 1 where she was found.
The California Highway Patrol said rescuers managed to get her up the cliff and to a helicopter which flew her to a nearby hospital. She was in fair and stable condition but appeared to have suffered a concussion.
She said that she swerved to avoid hitting an animal on Highway 1 on July 6 and plunged over the cliff north of Nacimiento Fergusson Road.
