#RNLI - Courtown RNLI's lifeboat was launched on Saturday evening (1 March) to reports of a dump truck submerged off Ardamine Beach in the Wexford town.
The driver of the 25-tonne dump truck had managed to get out of the cab and onto the bonnet before the tide completely submerged it.
He was rescued from the top of the vehicle by the lifeboat crew of Glen Deacon, Áine Stafford and James Mahon and taken back to the lifeboat station.
The truck was later recovered from the sea at the next low water.
