At 3pm, on Saturday 8th Feb 2014, hunt saboteurs from West Sussex, South Downs, South Coast and South London Wildlife Group (SLWG) were sabbing the Chiddingfold, Leconfield and cowdray Hunt and came across a road traffic collision on a country lane.
A qualified First Aider from SLWG checked for casualties and then, assisted by the South Downs navigator, directed emergency services to the scene and administered first aid to a nineteen year old female casualty until a doctor took over.
The casualty was the niece of Lord March, who owns the Goodwood estate, who arrived at the scene shortly afterwards. The SLWG First Aider and South Downs van remained at the scene until the emergency services took over, whilst the other vehicles went in search of the hunt, who, as it turned out, had packed up.
