LA couple rescued after car plunges 300 feet into remote California canyon, thanks to iPhone 14's SOS feature
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After veering off a California highway, going over a cliff, and plummeting 300 feet before coming to a stop upside down in a remote canyon, Cloe Fields and her boyfriend, Christian Zelada, are lucky to be alive, thanks to a new iPhone 14 feature. Zelada stopped the couple's leisurely mountain drive near their Glendale home so that another vehicle could pass. Their Hyundai Elantra veered off the Angeles Forest Highway and fell backward down a precipice in a matter of seconds.
Their car landed on its roof after falling nearly 300 feet into Monkey Canyon. Fields' iPhone 14 had already used cutting-edge technology to automatically detect the accident and send an SOS call via satellite to an Apple emergency relay center, which quickly informed authorities of the emergency and its site, despite the fact that there was no cell service in the narrow canyon. Fields discovered the phone about 10 feet from the scene.
