A five-year-old girl is in critical condition following an electrocution incident outside her residence in Hilltop, KwaZulu-Natal on Monday.
Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) dispatched multiple units to locate the scene without delay.
Upon arrival, the child was transported to a nearby gravel road, accessible by emergency vehicles.
According to eyewitness accounts, the five-year-old and her twelve-year-old sibling were alone at home.
The younger child, carrying a glass of water, accidentally tripped over an illegal electrical connection and fell onto exposed wires.
Neighbours discovered the child unconscious and immediately contacted the RUSA Operations Center.
Emergency Responders stabilised the child on-site before expediting her to a local hospital for further treatment.
