SUNOL (CBS SF) -- California Highway Patrol investigators were trying to unravel a mystery early Wednesday after a man's body was discovered in the wreckage of a car that apparently went off a cliff in rural Santa Clara County.

CHP Officer Ross Lee said the body was discovered at about 2 p.m. Tuesday in a rugged around of the county near Mines Road at Turner

Investigators have not released the man's name, age or hometown or how long he may have been missing.
