A quiet evening on the deck shooting the breeze and listening to music ended with a midnight dash for medical help and fears for the safety of children in a remote Central Otago village.
Steve Easton and his mate Mike Mitchell, both of Oamaru, were on the deck of Easton’s St Bathans holiday cottage on Tuesday night when they heard a noise in the garden.
Looking down, they saw a sow with six piglets. Easton went to chase them off and close the gate. What he did not see was the boar with them.
He chased the little family across the road and was about 30m from his cottage when he heard a noise in the gravel nearby.
The boar was flying at him and hit him head on.
Steve Easton told his story to Simon Barnett & James Daniels.
