The French coastguard was deployed after receiving reports of the boat in difficulty. Upon reaching the scene at around 01:00 local time (00:00 GMT), they discovered one of the boat’s tubes deflated, with several individuals in the water. One person, found unconscious, was airlifted to Calais Hospital, while the remaining survivors were transported to land by rescue boats.
