One person was hospitalized when a large debris flow in Malibu pushed a Los Angeles Fire Department vehicle into the Pacific Ocean in the midst of a powerful rainstorm. 

It happened just after 5 p.m. on Big Rock Road, according to Public Information Officer Erik Scott. The flow pushed the car off the road, down a cliffside and into the water while a crew member was still inside. 

"Fortunately, the member was able to exit his vehicle and reach safety with minor injuries," Scott said. "He was transported to a local hospital as a precaution."

Nearby, a large amount of rock and mud could still be seen covering the road where the car once drove. Several K Rails that were meant to prevent debris from flowing into the road appeared to have been pushed aside by the weight of the substance. 

Video from the scene showed as the car was consistently rocked by the waves as it rested in the deep sand. It appeared to have some minor damage to the passenger side door and the rear bumper.

No further information was provided on the incident, but this is one of many similar occurrences across Los Angeles County on Thursday due to the daylong deluge that battered the region with heavy rain.
