(CBS/AP)

CASTAIC, Calif. -- A 67-year-old man found alive days after his car plunged 200 feet off a mountain road built a makeshift camp, ate leaves and bugs and drank water from a nearby creek to survive, his daughter said.

Family members found David Lavau at the bottom of a ravine off Lake Hughes Road in the Angeles National Forest Thursday after conducting their own search, said Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. Mark Savage.

Another vehicle was found nearby, but its driver did not survive the crash and there were no details on how the cars ended up off the road, said Savage.

David Lavau's daughter, Lisa Lavau, said her family had not heard from her father for several days and reported him missing to police.
