"They managed to get him ashore because where he was wasn't as steep as they thought and they were able to get him out and onto the bank quite easily.

"It seems he rolled off the highway and that's caused quite a bit of damage to his car.

"Originally a helicopter was en route but it was poor weather so it was delayed to get off the ground, but then, shortly afterwards, they just took him to Albury."
