Woman Drove Off Cliff When Guy Opened Car Door Thinking It Was His Own

Officers say the woman was sitting in her parked car in the parking lot of a lighthouse, when she was startled by a stranger who opened her door.

She was so startled that she accidentally drove off the cliff behind the lighthouse, and sustained a foot injury.
