Emergency services attended Beeston Marina early on Sunday morning after a boat broke moorings and submerged.
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said:
8 am Update: ‘Emergency services have now left the scene following a call around 4am to Beeston Marina.
‘The damaged boat is still being carried downstream quickly due to fast-flowing conditions and significant debris is in the river, however there was no more action our crews could take.
‘This incident brings a reminder of the importance of mooring boats correctly.
‘Boats should be securely and appropriately moored, checked regularly, and suitable for rising water levels and stronger flows. An unsecured vessel can quickly become a hazard to others.
‘Please continue to stay clear of the river — it’s true what we say, you never know what may be hidden beneath the surface.’
