“DROWNING NEAR THE BRIDGE
RED FLAG RAISED. WAVES – 5 POINTS.
At 14:10 near the bridge, a drowning occurred. A man swimming with an inflatable buoy was carried by the current under the bridge pillars – to the place where the tragic drowning of a Polish boy happened.
The rescuers noticed the man immediately and promptly went to the scene. The person was saved, but both he and the rescuer, upon reaching the shore, were heavily scratched by stones.
This situation once again shows how quickly the sea can become dangerous. When the red flag is raised, do not enter the water and do not risk your life or the lives of rescuers.
Be safe, act responsibly, and listen to the rescuers’ warnings.
The accident was avoided only due to the quick reaction of the rescuers. Special thanks to rescuers Juras and Oskaras,” wrote K. Pirožnikas.
