Another person has died trying to cross the English Channel
ANOTHER person has died after being pulled from the water while trying to cross the English Channel, the French coastguard said today.
A rescue operation was launched after reports that a group of people tried to board a dinghy and got into difficulty in the Equihen-Plage area, in northern France, shortly after 9am today.
The boat had set off further south near Hardelot-Plage an hour earlier, according to the authority.
