18 Apr
Summary
- An overturned car remains at the bottom of a cliff for over a week.
- The council is investigating the complex issue, but ownership is unclear.
- Local residents worry about potential pollution from the wreckage.

An overturned blue Peugeot 107 has been left at the bottom of a cliff in Seathorne, Withernsea, for more than a week. The vehicle, which was initially reported to have gone over the cliff edge, later fell further, leaving debris scattered at the base.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council stated on April 10th that they are aware of the incident and are continuing to investigate this complex issue. However, details about how the car ended up at the site and the fate of the driver remain unknown. The council has cautioned the public to avoid approaching the vehicle due to safety risks.
Local residents and walkers have expressed concern that the prolonged presence of the wreckage could lead to environmental pollution. Humberside Police have indicated it is not a policing matter, and the Crown Estate confirmed the car is not on their land, complicating efforts to determine responsibility for its removal.
