14 year old airlifted from Studland Beach





Dorset Police and South Western Ambulance requested Coastguard assistance at Knoll Beach Studland after a 14 year old male had been reported missing.

The male was located in the sand dunes  but found to have a dislocated knee along with possible neck and spinal injuries.

Due to the location, the injury and the temperature the Coastguard team requested a helicopter evacuation ,so the National Maritime Operations Centre tasked Rescue 106 from Portland.

With the help of the National Trust , a safe landing area was secured and the services all worked hard to ensure a speedy and safe evacuation.  Rescue 106 flew to the Poole landing site at Whitecliffe where they were met by Poole Coastguard.

All services left the beach just before 7pm
