INCIDENTS

Grand Canyon National Park (AZ)
Driver Survives Car’s 200-Foot Plunge Over Rim

On the evening of Monday, April 26th, a visitor reported finding an injured man in the roadway on Desert View Drive near Twin Overlooks on the South Rim. The injured man told the visitor that he had accidently driven his vehicle over the canyon rim. Responding rangers found the reporting party and the driver of the vehicle near Twin Overlooks. The 21-year old male driver told them that he had extricated himself from the car, climbed up to the rim, and flagged down a passing motorist. He was treated at the scene and then taken by ambulance to Flagstaff Medical Center. Rangers found the vehicle about 200 feet below the rim the next morning, lodged against a tree. A plan is being developed to remove it in the near future. An investigation is underway.
