A vehicle reportedly crashed and went over the side of an embankment off Interstate 5 near the Newhall Pass Tuesday morning.

The vehicle, described as a white van, reportedly traveled 50 feet down an embankment, with firefighters arriving on the scene reporting no one was trapped, added spokesman Jonathan Matheny.

Original reports indicated that six patients — one adult and five children — were in the van, all with minor injuries, according to Matheny, though only one child and mother were reportedly treated on the scene.
