A man, believed to be 40-years-old, sustained serious injuries after falling down a cliff in Winston Park in KwaZulu-Natal this afternoon.
When ER24 paramedics arrived at the scene shortly after 15H30, they were led to the back of a property.
It is believed that the man fell roughly 60 meters to the bottom. After some time, paramedics managed to get to the bottom where they found him lying in a little stream. Upon further assessment, the man was found to be in a serious condition.
After a lengthy rescue operation and with the help of the SAPS Search and Rescue, Rescuetech, and another medical service on the scene, they managed to get the man to the top before transporting him to the hospital for further medical care.
The exact circumstances surrounding the incident were not known to our paramedics.
