The Bridlington Coastguard Rescue Team was tasked overnight and into the early hours of this morning alongside colleagues from Hornsea and Filey Coastguard Rescue Teams, Humberside Police, Bridlington RNLI lifeboats and Coastguard Rescue Helicopter 912 from Humberside, following a report of a missing person.
The search, which lasted several hours around the Barmston area, covered a large and challenging area of coastline, including cliffs and a nearby caravan park.
During the search, the Coastguard Rescue Helicopter located the casualty in the water and requiring assistance. The RNLI inshore lifeboat was able to reach the casualty and bring them safely ashore, where they were immediately assessed by Coastguard personnel.
The Coastguard Rescue Helicopter subsequently landed and its crew provided further care until the arrival of colleagues from Yorkshire Ambulance Service.
The casualty was transported to hospital for further treatment and was reported to be in a stable condition.
We would like to thank all the emergency service and volunteer teams involved for their professionalism and commitment throughout the operation.
