Friday, two hikers/walkers were swept away by a stream that forced them into a culvert, under a highway, and then spat them out into a waterfall, which in turn rushed down a steep slope. Both survived though one lady suffered head, spine and chest injuries.

The other lucky hiker was able to walk away with the help of the Derbyshire, UK- based search and rescue team.
