Narrow mountain road escape ends in rescue
The coach plunges along a brittle ledge between twin peaks descending at steep 30 degree angles. A sharp crash and broken brakes threaten disaster until the driver sends the team forward in a perilous slide to safety. Passengers survive with no injuries and reward is given to the driver.
