Apple’s “Find My” network aided in the rescue of a woman who plummeted in her vehicle 200 feet into a ravine following a traffic collision in Southern California.
The San Bernardino County Fire Department wrote on Facebook Monday that firefighters had been dispatched that day to a reported traffic collision on Highway 18, north of 40th Street.
Three engines, a heavy rescue truck company and one Battalion Chief responded at 6:12 a.m. PT.
The department said crews found a vehicle around 200 feet below the roadway.
Firefighter-paramedics located an adult woman with serious injuries, and crews initiated advanced life support interventions while arriving rescuers set up a rope system to safely raise the victim and rescuers.
“The patient had likely been in her crashed vehicle overnight after leaving a family gathering. Family members became concerned after not speaking with her this morning and utilized Apple’s “Find my iPhone” feature to track her whereabouts. Upon investigating the phone’s location they found the vehicle over the side [and] called 911,” the department said.

She ended up in the cave only after she realised how much she overpaid for the iPhone
