They were not accredited but were following the rally and reporting on it. They drove off a cliff and fell 100 meters (330 feet to you Americans) to the bottom. 2 others in the car survived.

Were they in a plain SUV without a cage?

Wow. Not that it would be any less tragic, but I wonder if they were driving recklessly at the time. Seems kind of hard to launch over a cliff unless you're going way too fast to notice anything. In any case, what a horrifying way to go... My thoughts are with their families.

Some type of non racing vehicle.
