A bit too dramatic

The car ran off the road at the bottom of the gorge if it's the same one I saw. The left front was down the bank and the right rear wheel was in the air. There is black ice on the last right hand corner before the visitor area at the bottom and a car goes off each night when I go past at 5 o'clock. Why they don't put more signs up at that corner I don't know. I feel sorry for the woman driver walking out of the gorge...

The car is still there this morning with its butt up in the air, probably a better warning to motorists than road signs to slow down in icy conditions,and another car kissed the bank this morning on the tauranga side- roll on summer...
