Two people have been seriously injured after falling from Brighton’s derelict West Pier into the sea this afternoon, prompting a multi-agency emergency response.

Emergency services were called at around 12:30pm following multiple 999 calls reporting individuals in difficulty in the water near the unstable, off-limits pier structure.

Multi-Agency Response

Shoreham Coastguard, Newhaven Coastguard, and RNLI Brighton were all dispatched to the scene. By the time rescue teams arrived, both individuals had made it out of the water, but had sustained serious injuries.
In a coastal emergency, always call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
