Lifeboat teams were tasked to assist with the extraction of a 12-year-old casualty from Picnic Island, an isolated location up-stream from Aberdyfi.

The young male with a suspected dislocated knee was assessed by the crews before being stretchered by Borth D-class lifeboat to Aberdyfi RNLI station to await an ambulance.
