Firefighters strap down vertical SUV dangling over car in Lynnwood cliffhanger rescue

Two people were rescued after an SUV went over a rock wall embankment in Lynnwood Thursday morning and ended up suspended above another vehicle, according to South County Fire.

Firefighters responded to the scene on 36th Avenue West around 9:30 a.m. and found the SUV vertically suspended and resting on another car below.

A power pole cable was stopping the SUV from sliding further down, South County Fire said.

Crews stabilized the vehicle using chains and straps to anchor the SUV’s axles directly to a ladder truck. Once the SUV was secured, firefighters opened the driver’s door and rescued both people inside.

No one was hurt, South County Fire said.
