Tenby's all-weather lifeboat, the Haydn Miller, launched at 4.37 pm last Thursday following a report to Milford Haven Coastguard from ambulance control that a 14-year-old girl had fallen badly on rocks at Barafundle Beach, suffering suspected back and neck injuries.

The lifeboat was tasked to ferry the casualty around to Stackpole Quay, which was the closest place the paramedics could get the ambulance to.

The boat was soon on scene and found the paramedics already stabilising the casualty with the help of St. Govan's Cliff Rescue Team.

The-Y Boat was launched with two volunteer crew members and a stretcher aboard and taken into the beach.

Once the casualty had been loaded onto the stretcher, she was taken aboard the Y-Boat, along with a paramedic, and conveyed the short distance around the headland to Stackpole Quay, where she was met by Tenby coastguards and the ambulance. She was then taken to hospital with a suspected broken collar bone.
