MARIN COUNTY, Calif. - First responders rescued an injured driver after their car went plunged several hundred feet into a ravine in Marin County. 

The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office said the incident happened at a Mt. Tamalpais ravine last Friday. The driver suffered major injuries. 

The car fell about 530 feet, according to the sheriff's office. It would have gone farther down the hill if it had not crashed into a tree, the sheriff said.
