According to the Daily Mail, the first woman was younger than the second woman. However, their ages and their identities have not been revealed. Both women apparently ignored repeated warnings to stay inside their vehicle. Aside from the two women, a child, and a man were inside the same car. The younger woman reportedly had an argument with the man before she stormed out of the vehicle. The man later tried to save both women while the child stayed inside the car.

They were rescued eventually by the staff of the wildlife park.
