Default Lexus IS ?? goes over cliff - towed out

Hey guys I was filming some GoPro footage up on Glendora Mountain Road in Glendora, CA over the weekend for some extra footage to finish editing up our Idyllwild canyon run. When my buddy and I were up there we saw CHP pulling out a Lexus that had gone over the cliff. The officer told me that they didn't find any bodies and just told me is was an IS, didn't tell me which kind. I snapped a couple pics which are below. Im guessing that if they didn't find any bodies that meant the driver and anyone else in the vehicle crawled out and just left the vehicl behind not telling anyone. The officer also said that a motorist driving by had spotted the vehicle down in the draw, which means that the driver or passengers of the Lexus never told anyone what happened. Does anyone know who's Lexus this might be or what kind it is or have any more facts on this. I just hope that everyone who was inside is ok and made it out of the canyon. Obviously we don't know if alcohol was involved but to leave a car that went over a cliff and not report it must mean something else bad was going on.

With those pictures it's hard to tell if its an ISF or 250/350.. but nonetheless those kind of actions are pretty sketch.

Abandon stolen car? Just wondering, does ISF comes in that color? (seem like babe/lightblue) because I have never seen an ISF in that color.

The driver probably didn't make it home in time to call CHP and report the car "STOLEN"....

Dunno... that doesn't look like an IS c-pillar to me... tho unless it got mangled in the crash?

Definitely not an IS-F though methinks... the hood is too flat to be an IS-F. Our hoods are strongly curved from the sideview due to the V8 bulge.

Yea Im definitely thinking it was stolen or some rich kid who was too scared to tell his parents or someone what happened. Im thinking drunk Glendora rich kids as #1. hose were all the pics I took. We got on with our drive and went out to Mt. Baldy

Wow looks like a stolen car at the moment. Maybe somone drunk who was scared to report it due to DUI and will report later. I don't know but it does look bad and fishy.
