Woman Rescued Two Days After Vehicle Crashed Down Calif. Hillside

July 01--A Simi Valley woman whose car plunged into a Malibu canyon on Monday was rescued from her vehicle Wednesday morning after a passerby heard her cries.

Los Angeles County Fire Department rescue personnel found Jenifer Duron, 40, about 9:15 a.m. after someone reported hearing a woman's voice coming from an SUV that had run off Latigo Canyon Road near Newton Motorway.

A rescue crew got Duron out of the vehicle, put her in a carrier and took her to a local hospital, said LACFD Inspector Randall Wright.

The Simi Valley Police Department confirmed Duron is the missing woman.

She was reported missing on Monday after telling family members she was going to a Malibu-area beach for a run.

Latigo Canyon Road connects the Conejo Valley to the Pacific Coast Highway.

Duron was bought up from her vehicle, which was lodged 50 feet down the side of the canyon, by the Malibu Search and Rescue Team and taken by helicopter to UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries, the California Highway Patrol said.

Neither the CHP nor the fire department had any information on the condition of the vehicle or what may have caused her to leave the road.

Duron is a certified health counselor. She is the founder of Eat 2 Be Healthy, a Simi Valley-based business focused on raising awareness about how to live an healthy lifestyle. She also is affiliated with the Toronto-based Vitality Promotion Center and is married to Steve Duron. The couple has a son, Steven, according to the center's site.
