LAFD member escapes truck swept into the ocean by mudslide during heavy downpours in Malibu
Mud and debris poured off the fire-scarred hillsides during the heavy downpours on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu Thursday, even sweeping a Los Angeles Fire Department SUV with a member inside into the ocean.
Video captured the moment the firefighter made it to safety and back onto the highway after the force of the runoff pushed the LAFD SUV into the surf.
"Fortunately, the member was able to exit his vehicle and reach safety with minor injuries. He was transported to a local hospital as a precaution," said LAFD Capt. Erik Scott.
The wrecked SUV, however, was still sitting in the ocean as of 11 p.m. Thursday with the waves crashing against it.
