Just after 9:00 am Monday, East Contra Costa and CALFIRE firefighters responded to a report of a vehicle that had gone off the roadway and down an embankment on Marsh Creek Road near Deer Valley Road.

According to dispatch, the male patient was stuck in the vehicle and could not move due to a rib injury and pain.
