A PERSON sustained head injuries after falling from railings at Rhyl Harbour entrance.

The person fell about two metres and landed on the rock revetment wall.

Both Rhyl RNLI lifeboats launched at 3.40pm on Friday, February 2. Coastguard volunteers were also tasked as well as police and ambulance.

A spokesperson for Rhyl RNLI said: "The adult had fallen about two metres and landed on the rocks, causing many injuries. The inshore lifeboat arrived on scene and immediately commenced casualty care on the person. This was soon followed by the all-weather lifeboat to provide extra assistance, and also the shore crew from the station in the station's Land Rover.

"As the casualty had sustained head injuries, pain relief could not be administered. The casualty was made as comfortable as possible until the ambulance personnel agreed they could be moved on to the promenade. This was done involving all agencies present, and the person was handed over to the ambulance personnel.

"All units were then stood down, the lifeboats returning to station at 5pm."

Coxswain Martin Jones said: "This again was a great example of multi-agency working which resulted in the successful extraction of the person from the rocks safely."
