The California Highway Patrol blocked off the southbound side of the Highway 1 to allow emergence personnel to attend to the vehicle. It has yet to be reported what caused the vehicle to veer off the cliff and there is no timetable for its retrieval.
"CHP say the car went off the road, flew 100 feet in the air before landing on the beach."
The status of the driver is uncertain but officials have not seen anyone get out or attempt to get out from the crash. The coroner is on the scene.
The accident occurred in the Pacifica area on Wednesday afternoon. Pacifica is a costal town on the Pacific Ocean between San Francisco and Half Moon Bay.
Highway 1 is the main traffic artery that connects Pacifica to the rest of California.
