10 hurt as storm hits dinghies on Strangford Lough

Ten sailors have been injured after a regatta in the North was hit by a squall, the Maritime and Coastguard agency said.

The casualties were mostly suffering from the effects of hypothermia after 80 dinghies sailing in Strangford Lough were hit by a sudden change in the weather. Heavy rain and strong winds caused competitors, including children, to fall into the water.
