It is not clear what caused the driver to lose control at the wheel and causing the accident at Ezingolweni. 

KZN EMS's Rob McKenzie says the two are lucky to have survived such a steep fall. 

McKenzie says search and rescue officers and paramedics were called in to assist.

"They came down the steep embankment and treated the patients at the bottom of the steep embankment before rescuing them using our rope system and our rescue stretcher. The exact cause of the vehicle leaving the road and crashing is not known at this stage," he said.
