Injured jetskier airlifted to hospital by Coastguard helicopter


An injured jetskier has been airlifted to hospital this afternoon by Coastguard helicopter, following a collision between a jetski and a speedboat.

 

The UK Coastguard received a vhf call at 4.10 pm this afternoon reporting the incident off the Moelfre coast. Because the Moelfre Lifeboat Open Day was ongoing at the time, two Moelfre RNLI lifeboats were on scene immediately and recovered the man from the water. The Coastguard helicopter was scrambled and a short time later the man was winched from the lifeboat and airlifted to Bangor Hospital. The Moelfre Coastguard Rescue Team also attended the scene.
