A woman to be in her late twenties is in a critical condition after fall from a ledge of a three storey block of flats in Pinetown this afternoon.
Members of public contact ER24 through the national number on 084 124 and informed the call taker of what had happened. An ambulance and a rapid response vehicle were sent to the location.
Once on scene, they found the lady lying on her stomach and in a severe pain. Advanced Life Support intervention was performed by means of fluid through a drip and pain medication before she could be moved onto her back. She was further stabilised by placing her on a special board before being transported to Life Westville Hospital in a critical but stable condition for further medical care.
The patient should make a full recovery but the next 24 hours would be crucial.
