CAPE TOWN. – ER24 report that a local law enforcement officer and his K9 sustained minor injuries this morning after the vehicle they were traveling in overturned on the N7 outbound in Milnerton, Western Cape.
Upon arrival, they found the police officer walking around on the scene, attempting to extricate his canine companion from the overturned vehicle, which lay on the side of the road. ER24 paramedics assessed the scene and found the canine, a Border Collie named Molly, lying trapped inside the vehicle. Fortunately, Molly had sustained only a minor laceration under her one eye. ER24 paramedics, along with Cape Road Assist, used a winch from the towing vehicle to break the middle partition to free Molly. After a short time, Molly was freed from the vehicle and handed to her anxious handler, who were both assessed and treated. Both the officer and Molly were transported to Mediclinic Milnerton for further treatment. Molly was handed over to the K9 unit waiting at the hospital for further treatment. The cause of the incident is not yet known.
