Two people survived being swept over the Gold Creek Falls in Golden Ears Provincial Park on Saturday.

First responders said the pair were injured, but fortunate to have survived.

The News has reported on four deaths resulting from people going over the falls since 2013, and other incidents where people have been seriously injured, or needed to be rescued.

Maple Ridge Fire and Rescue was called to save one of the victims on Saturday, explained deputy chief Geoff Spriggs.
