The vehicle involved in the crash came to a stop against several trees, which potentially saved it from tumbling down a steep embankment adjacent to the road. This natural barrier may have prevented further harm or injury to the occupants and complicated rescue efforts.
The cause of the crash is not yet known. The incident is currently under investigation, and updates will follow as more information becomes available.
