A vehicle crash in Forestville left two people stranded in thick brush about 70 feet down a steep embankment Sunday evening, Sonoma County emergency personnel said.

One of two occupants in a BMW was able to phone for help shortly after the 8 p.m. crash off Westside Road at Mount Jackson Resort Road. The caller said both occupants were able to exit the vehicle, but they couldn’t get free of the brush, according to initial CHP reports.

Emergency dispatchers said one of the occupants was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment, but no other information was immediately available.
