Person rescued after vehicle became stranded on Holy Island causeway
A person had to be rescued by emergency services after the vehicle they were in was cut off by the tide on Holy Island’s causeway.
Information about the incident has been detailed in a Facebook post by the RNLI Seahouses Lifeboat Station, which said that its volunteers were paged by Humber Coastguard at 12.56pm on Wednesday, March 18.
The post also included the following: “Our volunteer Helm Tris and crew members Fraser and David launched our D-Class inshore lifeboat and made best speed towards the casualty’s reported location.
“En route, updates received via VHF advised it was a single casualty and due to the height of the tide they were sat on the roof of their vehicle. Also in attendance were Holy Island Coastguard and Berwick Coastguard rescue team.
“Our crew reached the casualty and took them aboard the D-Class, conveying them back towards shore. The casualty was transferred to the Coastguard ResQSled (an Inflatable water extraction system) and taken safely to shore.
“They were checked over by North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust with no reported issues.”
