PRINEVILLE, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say a teenager intentionally drove a car off a cliff at a state scenic viewpoint northeast of Bend, Oregon and survived.
The car damaged a historic stone wall at Ochoco Wayside State Park before crashing into the hillside below, but the teen didn’t appear to have any major injuries as he got out of the car, according to Prineville police.
Police and medical workers responded Friday afternoon to reports of an overturned car perched above Northwest O’Neil Highway, 150 feet below the viewpoint.
The teenager drove a 2000 Mazda Sedan off the cliff in what officers described as a “non-accidental” incident and was transported to a hospital. No one else was in the car, which was destroyed in the crash.
