An 18-year-old woman was in critical condition Wednesday night after her vehicle took a 300-foot plunge off a cliff near Pacifica, authorities said.

Dispatchers received a 911 call at 6:17 p.m. that a vehicle had driven off the cliff onto Mussel Rock Park, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Video footage of the incident shows a white vehicle on its side at the beach and emergency responders loading a victim onto a stretcher.

The victim, who was not identified, was airlifted to Stanford University Medical Center, where she remains in critical condition, said Capt. Chris Clements of the Pacifica Police Department.

The vehicle tumbled down a rocky cliffside for 300-feet, the CHP said.

The cause of the crash is being investigated by the Pacifica Police Department.

“We haven’t ruled out anything yet,” Clements said.

Investigators are looking for additional witnesses to determine what exactly transpired before the fall, he added.
