Two men have been described as having a lucky escape after an accident off the Poole coast - on a jetski they'd bought just hours earlier.

The nineteen and twenty five year old launched the machine in Poole Harbour yesterday afternoon - but had no experience, and didn't wear life-jackets.

The coastguard were alerted by one of them's girlfriend, who they say was hysterical on the phone after the jet ski reared up and capsized.
