Officers initially responded to a 10 p.m. call for a car in a ditch at Heather Heights near Highway 9, said Officer James Evans. But when police arrived at the scene, they searched the area and discovered the car was at the bottom of a cliff.

A man was trapped in the vehicle for a short period of time, but emergency crews eventually freed him.

Evans said he was unaware if the man was transported to a local hospital after he complained of minor chest pains.

Emergency responders used about 20-40 feet of cable to pull the vehicle out and cleared the scene at about 12:40 a.m. Saturday.
