SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — A badly injured woman spent the night at the bottom of a steep ravine in Northern California after her vehicle veered off a mountain road and rolled hundreds of feet down an embankment.

Authorities tracked the 28-year-old woman’s cellphone after her family reported her missing. A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter hoisted her to safety Tuesday.

Television news footage showed the woman in a stretcher being raised to the helicopter hovering above Mount Hamilton in the San Jose area at about 8:45 a.m. The California Highway patrol says she was taken to a hospital with major injuries, including a leg injury and stomach pain, but is expected to survive.

The woman went off the roadway Monday afternoon.

Police were able to track the location of her cellphone, and a sheriff’s deputy found the vehicle.
