Just after 3.00am the IRT were tasked to Studland after a call from a member of the public stating their friends were in difficultly in a dinghy. Both Swanage Lifeboats were also launched and with the IRT located two persons in the water after the dinghy had sunk.
Both were taken to Poole hospital for checks and later arrested by Police.
The pair had been drinking and took the dinghy from the shore without oars, lifejackets or any other safety equipment, this incident could have turned out very differently had rescue crews not arrived so quickly. |
