The California Highway Patrol shared video of the dramatic rescue near a beach, about 400 feet down the trail from where he fell trying to avoid a deer. A local employee was reported to have left work Sunday night but never came home, according to authorities.
The man was thrown through a sun window on the roof of the car as the vehicle rolled down the hill. The agency shared a video on Facebook of authorities rescuing the man, who suffered only moderate injuries. The video also shows authorities lowering a rope to the man to lift him to the highway.
