A 21 year old female sustained serious injuries this afternoon when she fell from a horse while riding at a game farm with her family.
The female who is on holiday in South-Africa with her family from Europe, sustained a suspected injury to her back and pelvis. Paramedics from the Western Cape Provincial Department of Health: Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene. Due to the injures sustained and the distance to the nearest appropriate medical facility, on-scene paramedics promptly dispatched the ER24 Discovery Medicopter to the scene.
The Medicopter had landed at the scene and the patient was further stabilised before being airlifted to Mediclinic Milnerton for further medical care.
