ER24 paramedics rushed to Inanda dam in
KwaZulu Natal yesterday whereby three people drowned. Paramedics Spokesperson Russel
Meiring said they were called to the scene to assist in the rescue operation.
“Upon their arrival, paramedics and rescue
teams attempted to save the victims but were unsuccessful due to the location
of the victims. Rescue teams as well as SAPS were on scene to later retrieve
the bodies of the victims,” Meiring said.
Meiring added that witnesses on scene
stated that the three men had been fishing on the dam wall when one of the men
had apparently slipped and fell in.
He also said the remaining two men jumped
in one after the other to aid their friend, but soon succumbed to fatigue and
the suction of the dam wall.
