 A multi agency response to a boat incident off Studland was launched this afternoon  at 4pm

Poole lifeboat, Rescue helicopter 175 , Dorset Police , Swanage Coastguard , South Western Ambulance and  a critical care team all responded after 3 people ended up in the water. One further person was still on the speed boat that came to an abrupt stop.   

The Coastguard team remained on shore to coordinate the response working with the ambulance and police whilst the helicopter , lifeboat and a couple of other vessels went to speed boat. 

One person had a spinal injury and another had a face injury were transported by lifeboat  to the north haven landing stage near to the chain ferry and met by the ambulance and coastguard team. 

Poole Coastguard were tasked to meet the speed boat in  Poole.
