Family in minivan survives 400-foot plummet

Here's the story of Al Sullivan, who hit a patch of ice and went careening down a mountain:
Sullivan's trusty Pontiac minivan plunged 400 feet down a steep slope at about 4 p.m. Saturday. Some of those inside shouted as the vehicle tumbled down the mountainside, Sullivan said. The van rolled, maybe just a couple times, maybe more.
Sullivan's wife, Linda, had to be carried out on a stretcher. The other five passengers climbed out of the ravine with the help of search and rescue crews. After going to the hospital Saturday evening, everybody slept in their own beds Saturday night.
Buckle up, y'all.
