Man remains missing after fishing boat sinks

A man remains missing after a fishing boat sank eight miles off the West Country coastline. A major search and rescue mission was launched after crews were alerted to the vessel going down.

The RNLI says it joined search efforts to locate two people who had capsized off Torquay coast on May 19. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCGA) along with RNLI, police and ambulance service were all called to the scene at around 10.30am, reports Devon Live.

The MCGA confirmed that following an extensive search, one person was rescued by lifeboat and passed into the care of police and the ambulance service. A second man has not been found.
