13-Year-Old Girl in Critical Condition After Whitley Bay Sea Rescue

News summary

A 13-year-old girl remains in critical condition after being rescued from the sea at Whitley Bay near Spanish City on July 24. The teenager was seen in difficulty in the water, prompting a major emergency response involving local RNLI lifeguards, HM Coastguard, North East Ambulance Service, Northumbria Police, and the Great North Air Ambulance. She was initially recovered to shore by lifeguards and then airlifted to hospital, where she continues to receive treatment. The rescue was challenging due to changing weather conditions, tides, and the high seawall, with efforts including lifebelts, a lifeboat dinghy, and a lifeguard swimming to assist in the rescue. Authorities have reminded the public of the dangers posed by rip currents and rapidly changing sea conditions, particularly as school holidays begin. Emergency services continue to support the girl's family as investigations and safety advisories remain ongoing.
