Truck goes over cliff near Port Stanley [Video]

A 27-year-old man is miraculously alive after his pickup went over Hawk Cliff near Port Stanley.

Fire fighters estimate that from the top to bottom of the embankment is around 270 feet.

“When emergency services responded, we honestly believed that we were going to be dealing with a fatal motor vehicle collision,” said Sgt. Ed Sanchuk of the West Region OPP.

Central Elgin Fire spent most of the morning working with a heavy-rescue team, pulling the truck up the cliff.
