A 35-year-old woman suffered serious injuries Saturday when her car plunged 100 feet down a cliff from Mulholland Drive in the Beverly Crest area of Los Angeles.
A Los Angeles Fire Department helicopter hoisted the woman from the crash site and flew her to a hospital for treatment, according to the LAFD's Margaret Stewart.
The crash was reported at 4:59 p.m. in the 8500 block of Mulholland Drive, Stewart said.

Around 5:51 p.m. firefighters confirmed the woman was taken to the hospital. Stewart reported the woman was in "at least" serious condition.
