One person was airlifted to a hospital Wednesday after a vehicle rolled over the side of Topanga Canyon Boulevard and down an embankment.

The crash in the 2300 block of North Topanga Canyon Boulevard was reported at 12:15 p.m., when the California Highway Patrol was informed a white Ford Edge had overturned and rolled into a canyon, trapping the victim.

A Los Angeles County Fire Department helicopter was used to airlift a patient to a hospital.

A CHP officer said rescuers had a hard time finding the car as the reporting party, a man in his 70s, did not know exactly where he was when the car came to rest.

The septuagenarian complained of pain, a CHP officer said.

It was not immediately clear if he was the only one in the car and was the person airlifted from the scene.

A tow truck was called in to use a long cable to pull the car back up to the road, according to the CHP.
