THE IRISH COAST Guard yesterday assisted in the rescue of a man who fell and broke his leg at a remote section 2km from road access on Donabate beach in Co Dublin.
It is understood that the man in his 20s was out running when he fell and sustained a serious leg injury.
A full team from Howth came out and along with Dublin Fire Brigade paramedics they provided pain management, packaging and transport.
The casualty was transferred down sanddunes in a stretcher and transported by the coast guard four wheel drive to a waiting fire brigade ambulance at the beach car park.
One of the team members filmed the video of the rescue above with a camera on his helmet.
