SALT LAKE COUNTY A wild crash up Big Cottonwood Canyon was caught on tape, showing the moment two vehicles went right over the edge.
Everyone survived, but a woman who was trapped inside one of the vehicles had to be carefully rescued. Seeing the video of those cars going over, that would be terrifying, said Brian Anderton, a battalion chief with Unified Fire Authority. Just with a very narrow shoulder, the road drops about 75 feet down a steep embankment.
Anderton was part of the team that was called in to rescue the victims of the crash. We had a lot of concerns for the people who were involved and knew it would be technical and probably a long operation to get them out safely, he said.
