A woman was rescued from a vehicle this morning after it rolled into a backyard in Brentwood, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The incident, logged as INC#0562, occurred around 10:20 a.m. at 348 N Kenter Avenue, with reports initially suggesting the vehicle had descended into the outdoor space, trapping the driver within.

The LAFD's swift response led to the extrication of the driver, an adult female who, fortunately, did not appear to suffer life-threatening injuries from the ordeal. The car, having rolled down from its uphill driveway, came to rest in the yard, thankfully not inflicting any damage to the surrounding structures, as LAFD officials reported.

Following the successful rescue, firefighters are now faced with the challenge of removing the stable vehicle from the backyard, an operation that is expected to be extensive. Fire department officials are currently considering the available options for retrieval. Information on the incident and ongoing updates can be found on LAFD's official website.

The specifics of the vehicle's uncontrolled descent remain under investigation at this time, with LAFD personnel on scene to ensure the area is secure and to plan the recovery of the car, which is seemingly complex due to the backyard’s topography and the vehicle’s positioning, as per LAFD alerts.
