We measured approximately 40paces from impact point to where the cow lay. It was alive but badly hurt. Marius 10-15 meters further. It was a very upsetting scene and we were all rattled by the incident. Joe arrived on the scene shortly after and we carefully loaded Marius in his car. Joe also had to shoot the cow as it had broken legs and could not get up. Joe then took Marius to Middelburg where he was admitted to hospital and diagnosed with several fractured vertebrae, but luckily no life threatening injuries. Pete from Highside picked up Marius bike.
Marius’ wife Romi and two of his friends, Wally and Rudolph abandonded the trip.
