Motorist Teeters On Cliff’s Edge
01/25/09 - Unbelievable
“A 34-year-old Grand Junction man was rescued Wednesday from a van teetering off a cliffside about 170 feet above a canyon floor. Daniel J. Lyons drove his van off a road in the steep, red-rock canyons of Colorado National Monument, and the vehicle dropped, tumbled and rolled 120 feet before getting snagged on brush and a rock ledge. “It’s jaw-dropping,” said Joan Anzelmo, park superintendent. “It got caught on an outcropping of rock; that’s what saved his life.” w/ photos
