The vehicle had traveled over an embankment and was stuck on top of the retaining wall on adjacent property, with the driver still inside, officials said.

When firefighters arrived, they saw the vehicle was being partially supported by a fence on the top of the retaining wall.

Emergency responders stabilized the vehicle using rescue jacks and cables.

They were then able to extricate the occupant, who was transferred to emergency medical service personnel for evaluation.

No one was injured, fire officials said.
