A US woman whose vehicle plunged off a California cliff has been found alive a week after she was reported missing.

　　据报道，一名美国女子开车出门与家人失联一周后，在加利福尼亚州悬崖坠落。

　　蒙特雷县警长办公室告诉英国广播公司，23岁的安吉拉·尔南德斯使用汽车水箱上的软管来吸取附近溪里的水，最终幸存下来。

　　She was found by hikers on Friday after they saw her vehicle partially submerged at the bottom of a 60m (200ft) cliff in the Big Sur area.

　　周五，一群徒步旅行者在大苏尔地区60米(200英尺)高的悬崖底部发现了该女子部分被淹没的汽车，才使得她被发现并获救。

　　Ms Hernandez was conscious but had a shoulder injury, police said.

　　警方称，埃尔南德斯女士还有意识但肩部受伤。

　　Monterey County Sheriff’s Office spokesman John Thornburg said she was lucky to be alive.

　　It’s usually the fall that gets them, or the ocean that gets them, and she was lucky to survive both, he said.

　　他说：“这种状况不是当场摔死，就是跌落大海淹死，而她很幸运地逃过一劫。”

　　Ms Hernandez would need time to get over her ordeal, her sister Isabel wrote on Facebook.

　　This is very traumatic and will be a slow recovery process, she said.
