A Simi Valley woman found inside her crashed SUV about 50 feet down the side of a hillside north of Malibu was released from Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center after being treated for moderate injuries, a hospital spokeswoman said Thursday.
Jenifer Duron, 40, was released from the hospital Wednesday night and thanked everyone for their concern and good wishes, said UCLA spokeswoman Amy Albin.
“The family asks for their privacy,” Albin added. “No additional information is available and no interviews will be granted.”
According to the sheriff’s department, a passerby heard a female voice coming from the vehicle and notified authorities.
Investigators determined that Duron was the person who was reported missing from the Simi Valley area, Simi Valley police Cmdr. David Livingstone said.
Duron was last seen leaving her home on Monday morning in her white 2014 Kia Sorento, reportedly en route to the beach.
Rescuers went to Latigo Canyon Road and Newton Motorway about 9:15 a.m., said county fire Inspector Randall Wright. Paramedics reached the SUV a short time later and began treating the woman, Wright said.
Crews carried her up the hillside in a rescue basket and placed her in an ambulance for transport to a hospital, he said.
Duron was treated at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where hospital officials said she was in fair condition.
