A lifeboat has been launched after a boat started sinking in East Devon.

A spokesman for the Lyme Regis RNLI says one person managed to swim to shore and the other was rescued by a passing fishing vessel.

It's thought the twenty foot vessel hit the harbour wall in Axmouth.

The lifeboat towed the vessel into Lyme Regis.
