A woman injured in a fall aboard a boat in the River Medina became the latest casualty attended to by Cowes RNLI lifeboat.
The woman apparently sustained bruising and swelling when falling down the engine hatch of a 36-foot motor-cruiser moored to an off-shore pontoon at The Folly. Someone aboard then contacted Solent Coastguards for assistance.
After the lifeboat crew assessed the casualty on the scene, she was conveyed by her rescuers to Trinity Landing off Cowes, where an ambulance was waiting to take her to St Mary’s Hospital.
The lifeboat, which launched at 3.54pm on Monday afternoon, returned to station at 5pm.
