Woman Pulled From The Water At Fishbourne

A woman has been pulled from the water at Fishbourne.

Emergency teams were called to Wightlink's car ferry terminal at around 7pm last night (Wednesday).

Cowes RNLI was initially called to assist with a search for a missing woman in Ryde, before being diverted to the separate incident.

Lifeboat helm, Myles Hussey, said: 

“When we arrived we found she had already been pulled unconscious from the sea by members of the public and was on the shore just by the ferries’ linkspan. Apparently she was not the one we had been searching for at Ryde, which made this double shout most odd.”

Cowes RNLI said that crew member, Dr Will King, started resuscitation procedures, soon joined by paramedics.

The woman was stretchered onto the lifeboat and taken to the nearby Royal Victoria Yacht Club pontoon where she was transferred to an ambulance and taken to St Mary’s Hospital.

Also at Fishbourne were coastguard rescue teams from Bembridge and Ventnor, and the police.
