A woman accidentally launched her sedan over a 30-foot cliff in Santa Cruz on Saturday night but survived after the car landed on a ledge. “Luckily, we didn’t have to do a recovery from the ocean,” said Kelvin Ramer, owner of Auto Care Towing, who was called to the scene near the lighthouse on West Cliff Drive just before midnight. According to police, the woman was “spooked” when a man opened her car door, believing it was his family’s vehicle. AdvertisementShe accelerated up the curb, crashed through a metal fence and flew over the cliff. “It was dark and the individual does not see well at night.”Ramer, the tow truck driver, said vehicle rescues from cliffs in Santa Cruz were fairly common.
