A 58-year-old man was seriously injured after he fell while hiking the Western Cape's Otter Trail on Saturday.

The man was part of a group of 10 people when he fell near the Bloukrantz River mouth at 11am.

NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon told Independent Online that a doctor who was one of the team members from the hiking group managed to assess the man's condition and called rescue services for help.

The man was later transported to hospital and is in a serious but stable condition.
