LOS ANGELES – A possible dispute between drivers sent one vehicle tumbling hundreds of feet down the side of a mountain in the Angeles National Forest Tuesday morning.
The incident was reported shortly before 6:30 a.m. at Mile Marker 32 of Angeles Crest Highway north of La Cañada Flintridge, according to the California Highway Patrol.
A witness told officers that a gray vehicle lost control and went over the side when it was unable to merge with a black Scion displaying paper plates.
The gray vehicle plummeted about 400 feet down the mountain.
Responders from the Los Angeles County Fire Department transported one person from the scene shortly before 8 a.m.
No information was provided about the victim’s identity or condition.
It was also unclear whether the incident was being investigated as an accident or potential hit-and-run.
