North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue assisted a canoeist who suffered an injury in Whitby.
It happened on Thursday around 1.15pm.
The incident involved a female who had suffered a leg injury whilst getting in to a canoe.
This resulted in her becoming trapped in the canoe.
Firefighters assisted coastguard and paramedics to remove the female from the canoe using a spinal board and lifted her up the bankside to a waiting ambulance.
There is no further update on her condition currently.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
