Woman rescued after Steenbras kloof drama

FALL: Rescuers lower an injured woman to waiting paramedics near the Steenbras Dam. She injured herself after jumping from a cliff at Crystal Pools.

A YOUNG woman had to be dramatically plucked from Crystal Pools near Gordon's Bay after leaping from a high cliff into the waters below and injuring herself. The woman 21, had climbed up the scenic hiking route from the Steenbras river mouth. The trail is known for a series of dark pools in which people swim and kloof - the term used to describe jumping from a cliff into a body of water.

Reddingswerkers het hul hande vol in kusgebiede

Reddingswerkers het gister hul hande vol gehad aan die Valsbaaise kus en in die Overberg om mense wat in die water in die moeiikheid beland het, te red.

Boonop het ‘n ure lange soektog na ‘n 13-jarige seun van Elsiesrivier wat omstreeks 10:15 by Kogelbaai naby Gordonsbaai in die see vermis geraak heit, nog niks opgelewer nie. Volgens me. Venessa Horn, ‘n woordvoerder van die Metro Rooi Kruis AMS, het hulle kort tevore ‘n tiener uit die water by Kogelbaai gehaal. Hy is na ‘n plaaslike hospitaal gebring.
