'Terrified' dog walkers cut off by tide are rescued by passerby on jet ski

A 'terrified' mum who was cut off by the tide while walking her dogs on the beach was saved by a passerby on a jet ski. Leigh Woolliscroft, her nine-year-old daughter and a friend were walking their dogs when they suddenly realised they were starting to get trapped by the water.

They attempted to head back to shore, but soon realised they had been cut off in a spot where the tide comes in from three different directions. The RNLI said it was then "a race against time to return them to safety".

As volunteers from the charity launched their lifeboat, jet skier Alan Bates rushed to the group's aid alongside two others who were kayaking. They helped keep Leigh's daughter stay afloat while giving buoyancy to Leigh and her friend.
