Emergency services rushed to a popular beach amid concerns over the welfare of a teenage girl. Merseyside Police<\/a>, the coastguard and North West Ambulance Service were all dispatched to Formby Beach off Albert Road at about 3.30pm on Monday, 25 May.<\/p>\n

Officers have said a 15 year old girl was taken to hospital following the incident, with her family having been notified. The response saw a massive emergency services presence at the scene.<\/p>\n

A force spokesperson said at the time: “We can confirm that emergency services are in Formby following an incident this afternoon, Monday, May 25.<\/p>\n

“At around 3.30pm, police, the coastguard and NWAS were called to Formby Beach, Albert Road to reports of a concern for the safety of a 15-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

“She has been taken to hospital and her family are aware. Enquiries are ongoing at the scene.”,<\/p>\n

“Further updates will be issued when appropriate.”<\/p>\n

The incident triggered severe traffic disruption in the surrounding area, with nearby roads brought to a standstill as emergency services swarmed, reports the Liverpool Echo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Officers put in place a temporary one-way system in a bid to alleviate the congestion, though considerable delays persisted.<\/p>\n
