The survivors alerted authorities using iPhone technology in an area with notoriously bad cellphone service, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.
Authorities say it's a miracle two people had only minor injuries after their vehicle plunged hundreds of feet off the road and into a canyon Tuesday in California.
The area is notorious for poor cellphone service, but the pair, who were in a Hyundai, were able to alert authorities where they were with iPhone 14 SOS technology that communicated their latitude and longitude to rescuers, Gilbert said, adding that they also used two-way messaging. “The fact they had a piece of technology that survived the crash and it worked as advertised and got rescue to them in a timely manner is another miracle.”
