One man was treated for exposure after two brothers were rescued when their jet ski failed off Herne Bay.

The craft broke down just after 7pm last night (Friday), leaving the pair stranded out to sea.

After one man in his 20s tried unsuccessfully to tow it back to shore, the other called his girlfriend who contacted the coastguard.
