Cliff-plunge tourists rescued after two days

Two women spent two nights trapped in their car after it plunged off a cliff in New Zealand, emergency workers said.

British tourist Glenys Hounsome, 71, whose home town is not known, and her daughter Marion Hounsome, 40, from the southern city of Christchurch, were taken to hospital after firefighters cut down trees to clear a path to their car about 330ft down the bank, said ambulance spokeswoman Amy McDermott.
