In Brief

A campervan crashed off a slipway into the sea at Kyle Rhea on the Isle of Skye. The driver and his three dogs escaped to shore before rescuers arrived and were unharmed.

On 20 May at around 11:40, the RNLI lifeboat from Kyle of Lochalsh was launched after a campervan fell from a slipway into the water at Kyle Rhea, Isle of Skye. The crew arrived within 10 minutes and found the van lying on its side in the sea.

The sole occupant and his three dogs had already made it to shore and were uninjured. The lifeboat crew checked the vehicle for any other casualties and remained on scene until the coastguard took over. The vessel Spirit of Fred. Olsen returned to base 45 minutes after the call.
