L.A. county rescuers Monday evening were trying to reach two people in a vehicle that had plummeted down a steep ravine after swerving to avoid hitting an animal in the hills near Malibu, authorities said.<\/p>\n
A fire engine at the scene off Stunt Road near Mulholland Highway reported that the vehicle was about 80 feet down a canyon with two victims inside, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said. The accident was reported shortly after 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
The initial call reporting the accident indicated that the car had swerved to avoid an animal in the road. <\/p>\n
"That’s a steep area," said Fire Department Inspector Matt Levesque. <\/p>\n
He said two specialized search and rescue units were responding.<\/p>\n
