Location: River Dart. Old Mill creek

The Brixham Coastguard co-ordinated a search by mobile Coastguard teams from Dartmouth and Prawle along with the Dart inshore lifeboat volunteers. The lifeboat crew searched as far into Old Mill creek as they could due to the state of the tide before searching the river bank up as far as the Ham at Dittisham. The casualty was found in Old Mill woods by the mobile Coastguard team and they arranged transfer to Torbay Hospital.
