they were travelling veered off the Middle Road in Southampton and landed top down in Seymour Pond.

A Fire Services spokesman said it is suspected that the wet road caused the driver to lose control of his Mitsubishi Lancer station wagon which toppled down the 10-foot embankment near Barnes Corner.

He said the men managed to get out of the car without assistance. When three vehicles and 12 personnel from the Southampton, Hamilton, and Navy fire services arrived around 7 p.m., they found the car lying upside down in the nature reserve pond.

The car, which was a write-off, was removed from the pond and towed away.

The fire spokesman said the driver of the car received slight abrasions to his arm and his passenger was just "shook up a bit''.

Both men were taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital by a friend.
