A utility worker crashed a vehicle into a ravine Monday on the Soboba Reservation east of San Jacinto, but was not injured.
The crash occurred around 11:45 a.m., according to California Highway Patrol records.
The driver remained in the car near the intersection of Soboba Road and Castile Canyon Road at the time of the report, but left his vehicle and was able to climb out of the ravine by the time CHP officers arrived, according to CHP public information officer Jonathan Torres.
The intersection is located about one mile away from Sunday’s five-acre pair of brush fires, according to CHP and the Riverside County Fire Department.
No other drivers were involved in the crash. An ambulance was called to the scene, but its medical services were not required.
