At 15.50hr on Sunday 18th September 2016, Humber Coastguard requested the immediate launch of Seahouses Inshore Lifeboat, to assist two persons trapped on the roof of their submerged vehicle on Holy Island Causeway. Some crew were still on station from the earlier call that day, so the Inshore Lifeboat was speedily launched. The casualties’ situation was confirmed by Holy Island Coastguard officers who had also been dispatched to the scene.
