RCMP got the call around 5pm yesterday that a person may be in the vehicle so other services were called in to help with the search.
The driver was found near the Mulholland Lighthouse on Narrows Road where he had stopped to do some sightseeing but didn't put his van in park.
It began rolling and the driver was able to escape after freeing his foot which got stuck in the vehicle.
He was able to get out of the vehicle before it plunged down the embankment into the Bay of Fundy.
The van was found this morning near the lighthouse point.
