The car fell off a cliff at Fort Funston and rolled over onto the beach. The San Francisco Fire Department tweeted around noon Eastern Time.
Fort Funston is a former port defense facility located in southwest San Francisco and features “60-meter-high sand cliffs”, according to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.
It is not clear how far the woman fell or what caused the car to fall off the cliff.
The woman was rescued by rescuers and taken to a trauma center by land transport, the fire department said.
The accident video shows a car overturned on the beach. The tide was far enough away during the rescue that first aid rescued the woman and placed her on a stretcher, an officer is heard in the video.
“Please stay away from the vehicle as we work to remove it in the next few days,” said the Golden Gate National Park Service on Twitter.
