Mo Devlin and Janine Canham's car after an accident in Hong Kong in February 2018. The pair were in a horrific car wreck a day before Canham was to fly to Costa Rica for The Coastal Challenge, a 236km race that is a notorious six-day test of endurance across jungles and beaches. Their car was struck by another travelling at such a high speed that theirs flipped upside down. Still, the two exited their battered car relatively unscathed, and Canham flew to Costa Rica as planned. 06FEB18 [FEATURES]
