The slippery road conditions, due to recent rainfall, further contributed to the incident.

Fortunately, the car was prevented from falling into the ravine by banana plants that blocked its path. The passengers, including the minors, escaped without serious injuries.

Rescue teams used two dump trucks to pull the vehicle back to safety.
