Two casualties pulled from River Clyde after train driver spots pair in water

Two casualties were rescued from the Clyde after their boat capsized and they were spotted in the water by a train driver.

The pair had been in the water for an hour before they were spotted by a passing ScotRail driver between Port Glasgow and Cardross. A Coastguard Rescue Helicopter took one casualty to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow after they were recovered from the water.

The other person was taken to Cardross train station by rail where they were met by the Scottish Ambulance Service. Coastguard crews from Greenock and Helensburgh, as well as the lifeboat at Helensburgh, were scrambled to the scene at 3.26pm on Thursday, Greenock Coastguard said.
