Sunday afternoon, volunteers from the Coastguard team in Littlehampton responded to reports of an individual in distress and unable to move on West Beach. The person was experiencing intense hip and pelvic pain, causing significant discomfort. Working in collaboration with an Ambulance crew, the Coastguard team provided essential care for the casualty. To determine the best course of action, various options for extraction were considered, including utilizing the boat from Littlehampton RNLI Lifeboat Station to transport the casualty closer to a road. Ultimately, the safest approach was for the team to carry the individual on a stretcher. As the Littlehampton lifeboats arrived at the scene, they delivered a sturdy stretcher and remained offshore, ready to assist if necessary.
