PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — A driver was rescued after their vehicle plunged into a ravine off of I-84 near Hood River on Saturday.

Officers responded to the area of milepost 63 on I-84 westbound on reports a vehicle had driven off the highway and crashed down a ravine.

On arrival, they found the vehicle had overturned on its top and fallen around 150 feet.

Hood River police, fire crews, paramedics, Oregon State Police, as well as the Crag Rats – a nonprofit volunteer rescue team based in the area – spent around an hour rescuing the driver from the vehicle.

The driver was then taken to a nearby hospital.

Investigators later determined the driver was impaired, and cited them for DUII and reckless driving.
