Coastguard Rescue Officers assisted paramedics in transferring an unconscious female off the beach at Sandown this afternoon (Friday).
Bembridge Coastguard Rescue Team were given an immediate tasking shortly before 16:30 to assist the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service at Culver Parade, near Driftwood.
A basket stretcher was used to lift the casualty off the beach and into the awaiting ambulance.
The casualty’s family say she is now at home recovering. They have thanked the Coastguard and paramedics for their assistance.
Thanks to the Rescue teams. On a different subject, I’ve noticed a lot of very angry people around today..
Sun + drink ?
Good effort !
Get those beers down you and enjoy the freedom at long last
Why are people down voting your comment.
Probably because it’s not exactly freedom, the virus is still there and will be for a long time. I’d like to go to a pub for a few beers and watch a band but that’s not going to happen until a vaccine is found.
God your pathetic
Does anyone know why Yaverland car park was cordoned off all yesterday afternoon and evening? 3 police vehicles there and the grassed bit had tape all round it and two cones sat in the middle of the grass, the police seemed to be guarding it but doing nothing else!!
Welcome back to planet earth! A possible hand grenade was discovered.
Well, I suppose they could have put together a little song and dance act whilst they were guarding the hand grenade …for those that thought they weren’t doing much.
A basket stretcher for a drunk basket case.
