A pioneering drone lifeguard service rolled out across Spanish beaches saved the life of a 14-year-old boy this month as he struggled against a powerful tide off a beach in Valencia, its operators said.
Footage captured by the drone shows the boy struggling to stay afloat and grabbing the life vest.
He can be seen wearing the life vest as a baywatch boat arrives at the spot to rescue him.
After being rescued, the boy was sent to a local hospital after being supplied with oxygen and was sent home 24 hours later.
