Two people were injured Sunday when a truck drove off a driveway and plunged down a hillside in Montecito, according to the Montecito Fire Protection District.

Firefighters and other emergency personnel were dispatched just before 11 a.m. to the incident on East Mountain Drive at Coyote Road.

“The male driver of the truck accidentally drove the vehicle off his driveway and down an embankment,” the district said in a tweet.
