Tragedy as teenage boy dies after getting into difficulty in river as passers-by frantically try to save him
A teenage boy has died after getting into difficulty in a river as passers-by frantically tried to save him. Police were called to the section of the River Wyre, in Lancashire, near Garstang Cricket Club at 2.33pm on Saturday where they found members of the public trying to resuscitate him. He was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition but sadly passed away yesterday. Officers are now appealing for anyone with information about the incident to come forward. A local eyewitness Nick Hill told the BBC: 'The area was quickly cordoned off and I saw a police officer interviewing a tearful young girl among a group of backpackers. 'That part of the Wyre is regarded by the Environment Agency as dangerous with several warning signs. It is a few yards beyond the flood control gate, a small area of invitingly calm water before a series of weirs.' The retired journalist added that previously he had seen 'young boys leaping in from a high vantage point despite the obvious hazard'. A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: 'We were called to the River Wyre close to Garstang Cricket Club at 2.33pm on Saturday (17th May) following reports a male had got into difficulty in the water. 'Our officers quickly attended and found that a teenage boy was being given CPR by members of the public on the riverbank. 'He was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition but despite the best efforts of medical personnel, he very sadly died yesterday (18th May). 'Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this incredibly distressing time. 'Anyone with information can call 101, quoting log 834 of 17th May 2025.'
