Med~Evac, together with Fire & Rescue, are currently en route to assist a hiker at Hoopoe Falls in Oribi Gorge, who is believed to have sustained a suspected dislocated knee after a fall at the waterfall.
The trail is a moderately challenging route under normal conditions and presents added difficulty when carrying the specialised equipment required to safely access, stabilise, and extract a patient from the area.
The teams are trained and equipped for operations in rugged terrain and are working carefully to ensure the safety of both the patient and rescue personnel.
An update will follow once the patient has been located and assessed….
