Default Didsbury couple stranded overnight after roll over

Sounds like a Sunday drive gone wrong, lucky it turned out well for them. the lady apparently was wearing shorts. Apologies, doesn't seem to be any sound here for me. Looks like some pretty rugged terrain.

I'm glad to hear they are safe. That corner is one to take cautiously reguardless of season. Even with my cell booster I never get a signal where they were, pretty good reception indeed. For those who have never traveled this road she ain't no highway as the reporter suggested.....

Glad they are okay.

This type of incident stresses the importance of carrying some survival gear in your vehicle during the winter time. Water, food, small stove, matches, emergency blankets, and anything else that may be helpful.

Sounds like they were lucky to get cell coverage - don't rely on your cell phone to save you.
