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.
