Exmouth RNLI volunteers assisted after a water scooter accident on Tuesday.

The rider was towing an inflatable when the line got entangled around a marker post off Mamhead slipway, causing them to temporarily lose control.

The lifeboat crew assessed the situation and having established that no one was injured or in danger, brought the craft and the inflatable to the shore.

The rider was shaken but unhurt, the RNLI said.
