One person was hurt when a crash sent an SUV over the edge of a flood control channel in Long Beach, where the vehicle ended up wedged vertically against one of the channel’s walls on Monday afternoon, according to the authorities.

The crash happened around 1:48 p.m. on Woodruff Avenue where it crosses the Los Cerritos Channel just south of Spring Street, according to the Long Beach Fire Department.

It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the crash, but the SUV’s driver ended up trapped inside the car, which was now pointed straight down and propped against the wall of the channel.

Crews stabilized the SUV and used the Jaws of Life to cut it open and rescue the person inside, Long Beach Fire Department spokesman Capt. Matt Dobberpuhl said.

Paramedics took the driver to a local trauma center, but authorities couldn’t immediately say how serious his or her injuries were.

Crews then lowered the SUV all the way into the channel where a tow truck picked it up, Dobberpuhl said.
