A motorist was hospitalized on Sunday after rolling about 500 feet down a steep embankment in what Colorado Springs Fire Department officials called a “critical traffic accident.”
A vehicle rolled down the embankment while driving on Gold Camp Road at Point Sublime, according to a tweet from the fire department. An occupant was ejected from the vehicle.
After being recovered by CSFD’s High Angle Rescue Team, the patient, whose name was not released, was taken by helicopter to a nearby hospital and is listed in critical condition, officials said.
