At approximately, 8:40 a.m. on March 27 the SUV veered from the road and up the embankment.

When Stallion Springs Chief Brad Burris found the car and saw that it was tipping on its side, he ordered a skip loader to prevent the car from rolling over.

Calvin Harrison, an equipment operator for the Stallion Springs Community Services District, responded and positioned the loader so that Kern County Fire Department personnel could extract the driver and her 11-year-old daughter.

Although her daughter was not injured, the driver was transported by Hall Ambulance to the Tehachapi Hospital with minor injuries.

“Remind people to slow down and not let cell phones, coffee cups, CDs and other passengers distract you when you are driving,” Burris said.

KCFD Engine No. 16 from Bear Valley and Engine No. 12 responded to the incident.
