Drone lifeguard rescues teenage boy off coast of Spanish beach
A drone lifeguard has saved the life of a teenage boy who was struggling against a current off the coast of a beach in Valencia.
The service has been rolled out on beaches across Spain as a new safety tool.
General Drones, the company that supplies the technology, began supporting lifeguards in Valencia from 2017.
This video shows the 14-year-old grabbing on to a life vest from the drone and being lifted to safety.
The boy was sent to hospital and discharged a day later.
