Child Rescued from River After Boat Incident

Emergency services were alerted to a child in the River Severn in Shropshire earlier on Sunday after reports of someone entering the water from a boat. The incident occurred near Knowle Sands Caravan Park. Thanks to the swift and decisive actions of family members and bystanders, the child was brought to safety upon the arrival of emergency responders.

Authorities expressed gratitude for the "swift intervention" of those involved. They also reminded the public to exercise caution around open water, especially during warmer periods. The child's use of a life preserver was noted as a risk-reducing factor, though significant dangers were still present. Several agencies, including the local fire and rescue service, ambulance service, and air ambulance, were commended for their rapid response.
