A 19-YEAR-old woman was rescued out of Kloof Gorge on Tuesday afternoon after she had been running in the gorge.
ER24 paramedics, along with Rescue-Tech, DUT and the fire services, arrived on the scene and found the woman lying on a cliff some distance below her trail.
ER24 spokesman, Russel Meiring, said rescue technicians had to use specialised equipment to make their way down to the patient.
It was believed that she lost her footing and fell down the cliff, said Meiring.
“On assessment, paramedics found that the patient had sustained serious injuries to both her lower legs as well as her back. Paramedics placed the patient on a specialised stretcher and brought her back to the road.”
Meiring said she was transported to Hillcrest Hospital.
