A dramatic graduation accident has gone viral online after local emergency responders used clever humour to describe the serious highway crash scene involving two individuals. The witty post shared by the emergency team, Mounties EMS, on Facebook, uses sharp, sarcastic storytelling to describe a chaotic rollover accident on the N2.

Travelling south to attend their graduation ceremony, the occupants suddenly lost control of their vehicle, sending it flying off the highway and rolling down a muddy embankment. The rescue team described the heavily damaged, upside-down car as looking like it had fought gravity in a cage match and lost by unanimous decision. They stated jokingly that the car entered a full postgraduate program in advanced landscaping and aviation before landing at the bottom of the hill.

Extreme weather hammers KwaZulu-Natal roads

The dangerous accident happened during severe regional storms, as heavy morning rain ruined road visibility for daily commuters. Water quickly builds up on the road surfaces, causing the cars to hydroplane when travelling at high speed. These treacherous conditions make the roadside rescue difficult for medical crews, who must scramble through thick mud to treat the freezing victims while the rain hits them sideways. Local authorities continue to urge motorists to slow down during wet weather, warning that slick roads drastically increase the risk of losing control.
