A family on their way home from a night out never expected to find cows running around on the N3 Pietermaritzburg bound near Cato Ridge in the late part of yesterday evening.
The driver was able to veer out of the way for one of the cows but unfortunately collided into the second one just a few meters away. The collision occurred on the passenger side of the vehicle. The impact caused the cow to be killed instantly.
ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene and found the vehicle in the centre medium with the cow just a few meters away. The passenger who was a lady to be in her fifties had sustained severe facial injuries. Advanced Life Support Intervention had to be performed before she could be stabilised further on the scene. The driver and back passenger sustained minor injuries. The patients were transported to Pietermaritzburg Medi-Clinic for further medical treatment.
It is unclear at this stage who the cows belong to but reports came in that there where fifteen cows roaming the freeway at the time of the incident.
