Mobile phone light helps Cornish rescue mission

A person used their mobile phone light to help with rescue efforts during an incident on the Cornish coast.
Newquay RNLI said it was called out at 00:32 BST on Wednesday to do a shoreline search from Tolcarne to Lusty Glaze beach to find a person who needed medical assistance.
The crew said during the search, one of its lifeboats spotted the light of the casualty's mobile phone shining in a small cove.
A post on the crew's Facebook page said a Coastguard helicopter, the Newquay Coastguard Search and Rescue Team and paramedics helped rescue the person, who was airlifted to hospital.
