A KwaZulu-Natal man was seriously injured after being trampled by a rhino at a game reserve outside Pietermaritzburg on Monday.
Midlands emergency spokesperson Roland Robertson said on arrival, their crew found the man with serious injuries and in a critical condition. Immediate advanced life support treatment was initiated to stabilise the patient.
“This included the use of specialised rescue equipment to ensure safe and effective care in a challenging environment,” said Robertson.
After the patient was stabilised, he was transferred to Netcare St Anne’s hospital.
A representative from Rave Rhino, a nonprofit organisation, declined to comment on the incident.
