A California woman is recovering from two days trapped in her SUV after it plunged off a cliff.

Jennifer Duron, 40, vanished Monday when she was on her way home from a run in Malibu. Her family reported her missing, unaware her vehicle was sitting 70 feet down an embankment.

Duron was stuck for two days and two nights in the damaged SUV, with no food or water.

"I think for the time she was down there, she was wondering if anyone was going to see her," her father, Michael Daruty, said.

"Her first words were, I didn't think anyone was going to find me," Daruty said.

Duron was rescued Wednesday after a woman walking her dog heard screams coming from below. She was alert and talking as authorities raised her to the surface.

Duron's family is grateful that she has been found, and with non-life-threatening injuries.

"She is in remarkably good condition for being down an overpass and ravine for two days," Daruty said.
