LYME REGIS: Lifeboat launched after man thrown overboard by waves
Lyme Regis lifeboat crew were launched on Friday after a fishing boat suffered engine trouble and a man was thrown overboard in heavy surf. The five-metre vessel, “Kelvin”, got into difficulties off West Bexington and the lifeboat was launched at 3pm.
When the lifeboat arrived on scene the man was out of the water and being assisted by coastguards. An ambulance crew treated the man who was suffering from the cold. A lifeboat crew member swam ashore to assess the situation, and it was decided to use the coastguard vehicle to winch the fishing boat ashore. • ON Friday evening, Lyme Regis lifeboat crew raised over £800 during a bingo night for the national RNLI SOS fundraising day. The money will go towards a £3,500 target for new lifejackets, which has been set across all lifeboat stations in the South West. CommentsThere are no comments yet. Be the first to add one below.
