Brigitte and Nathan quickly managed to jump out. 

Brigitte says they both feared the vehicle would continue to roll down the pass - while they were still inside. She says they managed to get to safety with the help of emergency services.

"We couldn't get it back off the rocks. There is an expert who specialises in that - he says they are going to maybe attempt to get it onto the road. 

"The conditions are still very slippery and misty but I don't think I will be going up that mountain again. We will wait at the bottom. We are not sure what condition it's in. We will just have to play it by ear," she said.
