By Vehicle retrieved from the beach after being stuck
A car was submerged by the tide after getting stuck on the sands of Cleethorpes beach on Saturday.
The Volvo 4×4 was pulling a jet ski and became stuck just as the tide was coming in.
Two men were rescued after Scott Snowden, the Cleethorpes resort manager, spotted their car in trouble on the shoreline.
The men from Scunthorpe were visiting Cleethorpes and had hoped to launch the jet ski from the beach.
“The vehicle became stuck and it was a waiting game as the tide came in.” one beachgoer said.
“We watched as the tide came in and swallowed the car.”
The rescue of the owners began at around 1 pm when the two men went to the shoreline to launch the jet ski. As they unloaded the jet ski from the trailer, the wheels of the vehicle sank into the mud.
The team had guided a father and his child away from the incoming water when Scott spotted the car stuck on the shoreline.
The vehicle was retrieved on Sunday after the waters had receded.
