SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A man was rescued by San Diego Fire-Rescue crews after a car overturned near Sunset Cliffs in Point Loma on Friday morning.

Around 10:30 a.m., fire crews responded to the scene of an individual trapped inside a vehicle that had turned on its side at the intersection of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and Adair Street.

Video shared with FOX 5/KUSI by viewer Ed Baier showed the vehicle involved was a red Hyundai Elantra that had landed on its driver side.
