A teenage girl has been rescued after she became stuck up to her waist in quicksand in Morecambe Bay.

The girl had been walking along the sands close to the shore near Silverdale, at about 14:00 BST on Saturday, Morecambe RNLI said.

She was treated by paramedics before being transferred to the Royal Lancaster Infirmary.

Kevin Jackson from the RNLI warned members of the public "to always be vigilant on the sands".

Blimey .... I was due to go walking there yesterday but chose to stay to attend the local gala instead ..... :eek:

Hopefully, the girl was just in shock and has been released from hospital now.

We rarely go on the sands so I would have been watching from the shoreline or the cliffs ..... :pipe:
