A man, believed to be in his forties, nearly drowned at Blue Lagoon after he allegedly slipped off the rocks and fell into the water.

The man was rescued by lifeguards that were on duty. When ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene the patient was being treated by the lifeguards and a paramedic from EMRS for submersion injuries.

The patient was handed over to ER24 crews and was transported to Addington Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
