Firefighters rescued a man who spent the night in his car down a ravine in North Seattle.

Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore told KOMO Radio that firefighters used ropes to stabilize the car Tuesday morning so they could remove the driver. Moore says the man in his 60s was talking to rescuers.

Fire crews brought him out of the ravine on a backboard and put him in an ambulance.

The car apparently crashed in the ravine Monday night in the Lake City neighborhood.
