Coastguard rescue team deployed after being called to car dangling over ‘edge of cliff’

A coastguard rescue team has been deployed after a car was left dangling on the “edge of a cliff” in Falmouth this morning.

Emergency services, including police, the coastguard as well as Falmouth inshore lifeboat station responded to the incident.

HM Coastguard sent Falmouth Coastguard Rescue Team in response to a report of a car on a cliff’s edge at Pendennis Point, Falmouth, according to a spokesperson.

The vehicle was found to be empty after the alarm was raised at around 6.40am this morning.

“The RNLI’s inshore lifeboat from Falmouth was also sent. Devon and Cornwall Police and Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service are also attending,” a spokesperson added.

One took to social media to report on the event, posting on Facebook: “Car had gone over side of cliff. Has been hoisted back up.”

The coffee van at the Point’s car park, Cafe Kernow, has claimed that the road has now re-opened.
