NEAR BRUSH PRAIRIE, WA (KPTV) -

A pregnant driver and two small children were inside a car that crashed at the bottom of a steep embankment near Brush Prairie, WA.

Clark County Firefighters said the car landed 75 feet down a ravine, with the driver and children trapped inside.

Bystanders extricated a 3 and 5-year-old, and crews cut into the top of the car to extricate the driver.

They immobilized the woman and hauled her up the steep embankment using a rope system.

Rescuers rushed her and the kids to a hospital. The victims' conditions are unknown.
