They have been rushed to the hospital onboard a chopper

FOUR people including two Brits have been dramatically rescued from a stricken boat after getting lost at sea for four days.

The dehydrated men were found by Spanish authorities some 60 miles off the coast of Tenerife.

They are understood to have made a Mayday call to alert local ships after being stranded in the sea for days.

A Panamanian-flagged ship along with a Spanish Civil Guard vessel is said to have responded by heading to the area they were in.

The four people onboard were then rushed to Tenerife South Airport onboard a chopper before being taken to a hospital.

It is not clear as to why they went into the sea before getting lost.
