A man moments from death has been pulled from the sea at Blackpool after being 'overwhelmed by the waves'. Coastguards rescued the man from the sea near the boating pool in the early hours of Monday, LancsLive reports.
Volunteers from RNLI responded to the reports and were assisted by local coastguard volunteers and members of the public to locate the casualty. The man was pulled into the lifeboat and given initial first aid in the boat before being returned to shore and handed into the care of the North West Ambulance Service.
This was the seventh call out received by the RNLI team this weekend, with most of them being in the early hours of the morning. The team were called out three times on July 30, three times on July 31, and once on August 1.
