A man and woman used an iPhone 14's emergency SOS feature and were rescued Tuesday after their car plunged some 300 feet into a canyon in the Angeles National Forest, authorities said.
Shortly before, 2 p.m., the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Crescenta Valley station received a notification from an iPhone 14 via satellite service, the agency said. The victims, both in their 20s, had been involved in a single-vehicle crash near mile marker 18.
Using the emergency satellite service on their iPhone 14, the victims were able to communicate to a relay center via text, authorities said. The center contacted the station, which dispatched the SearchAfter the call center provided the latitude and longitude of the victims' location, the rescue helicopter was able to find them and lower a paramedic via cable.
Video provided by the Sheriff's Department shows the victims being hoisted into the helicopter. They were then transported to a hospital, authorities said.
