Tractor Rescues Submerged Car from Waves in Dramatic Seaside Incident
26 Aug
Summary
- Car driven into sea while launching boat at Oxwich Bay, Wales
- Tractor had to drag car out as water poured from doors
- Similar incident occurred at Amroth Beach, Pembrokeshire

According to the news, on the recent bank holiday, a bizarre incident occurred at Oxwich Bay in south Wales, where a car that was being used to launch a boat ended up submerged in the sea. Beachgoers witnessed the car continuing to reverse into the water, even after the boat had been released, leaving onlookers questioning why it kept going so far.
A tractor had to be called in to drag the partially submerged car out of the water, with witnesses reporting that water was "pouring" out of the vehicle's doors as it was hauled onto the beach. Unfortunately, the car refused to start once it was pulled from the waves, and had to be completely removed from the beach.
This was not the only such incident that day, as a separate car was also spotted stuck in the sea at Amroth Beach in Pembrokeshire, south Wales. The cause of that vehicle ending up in the water remains unclear, but beachgoers were left equally bewildered by the sight.
