Firefighters rescued a person who had become stuck in mud on an embankment near the water. The casualty was conscious and communicating with crews. Swift-water rescue teams used a rescue sledge and later deployed a boat to reach them safely.
Crews kept the casualty warm with a thermal blanket before they were taken to hospital. Police were also in attendance, and the road was closed during the rescue.
