PICS: Traumatic end to Sani Pass visit for Ballito couple
The car came to a halt when it collided with a rock about 100m down.
While making their way back down a snow-covered Sani Pass on Sunday, a Ballito couple faced a horrifying experience when they lost control of their vehicle on the icy road.
Nathan and Brigitte Renald escaped with minor injuries after their car slid over the edge, coming to a stop as it collided with a rock 100m down.
According to Dylan Meyrick from IPSS Medical Rescue, the couple were about 3km from the summit when the incident occurred.
“IPSS Rescue members were on the pass and witnessed the incident,” said Meyrick.
“They assisted the couple to the road where members from the Berg Protection Services arrived to continue the rescue and recovery.”
