PHOENIX, AZ
The driver was treated at Flagstaff Medical Center for non-life
threatening injuries. Grand Canyon National Park spokeswoman
Maureen Oltrogge on Wednesday declined to release the 21-year-old's
identity or hometown until park rangers have finished their
investigation.
Park rangers located the man's car some 200 feet below the rim,
lodged against a tree. There was another precipice about 10 feet
beyond the tree.
A park visitor reported finding the injured man in the roadway
at about 7:45 p.m. Monday. The man told the visitor he had
accidently driven his vehicle over the South Rim.
