Rieghard Janse van Rensburg, NSRI Jeffreys Bay station commander, said; “At 18h26 on Sunday 25 March, while preparing to close our sea rescue base for the day, NSRI Jeffreys Bay volunteer sea rescue duty crew were noticed a commotion on rocks on the sea shore about half a kilometer from our sea rescue base, at Kitchen Window Reef, and we activated our Discovery Rescue Runner while NSRI volunteers on our Discovery Quad Bike responded to investigate.<\/p>\n
“On arrival on-scene we found a 15 year old male and a 16 year old female both suffering injuries after reportedly colliding with a surfer while they were both surfing.<\/p>\n
“Both had been brought ashore by fellow surfers.<\/p>\n
“The male, Teagan Doyle, from C Place, Jeffreys Bay, suffered a laceration to the head, possible spinal injuries, possible concussion and he was treated and stabilized and his Cervical Spine immobilized as a precaution on-scene by our NSRI medics who also monitored him for secondary drowning symptoms as it was reported that he had been under water for some time following the incident.<\/p>\n
“The female, Carla Jooste, from Wavecrest, Jeffreys Bay, suffered a laceration to her head and she was stabilized on-scene by our NSRI medics.<\/p>\n
“A 24\/7 ambulance services ambulance was summoned and both patients have been transported to hospital in stable conditions.<\/p>\n
“The surfer that they collided with on the water was not injured.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
