A man had to be rescued from his car after it crashed into the waters off the Spanish Point Boat Club this afternoon.

The incident happened shortly after 2.30pm. The vehicle, driven by an “elderly” man, was discovered off the dock of the club.

A spokesman for the Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service said: “BFRS responded with one appliance from Hamilton Station and a total of four firefighters.

“On arrival fire crews saw a vehicle over the edge of the dock at the boat club. The occupant, an older male, had been removed from the vehicle prior to BFRS arrival. The patient was transported to KEMH via ambulance with no known injuries.“

The cause of the incident is under investigation by the police.
