A 56-year-old woman has been rescued after being trapped overnight in her car when it plunged over a cliff in north-west Cornwall in misty weather.

The car rolled several times down the 300ft (91m) cliff at St Agnes Head before coming to rest on a ledge metres from a large drop.

Falmouth Coastguard said the woman had been there since Monday afternoon.

She was airlifted to the Royal Cornwall Hospital after being winched up the cliff.

Ben Stafford, from Truro, said he had been out jogging with his wife and friends at about 09:00 BST when they spotted the car.

Not sure which that one is but the face lift Vectra C is the better looking and a better car.
The 3.0 V6 TDI is a hoot.

There was a similar story to this that happened on the Isle of Wight, someone in a Corsa managed to drive across a field and off the cliff completely falling god knows how many feet to the beach, and survived with a few scratches!

Whilst the camera is switched on at least.

The Vectra V6?...I'd have one, Sheldons dad has one, along side his 384,000 mile omega. yikes

That should of died years ago, yet still runs sweet.
