Driver Rescued from Rising Tide on Holy Island Causeway

A driver was rescued from the Holy Island causeway this week after their vehicle was submerged by rising sea levels. The individual was forced to climb onto the car's roof to escape the encroaching water. Rescue operations were initiated shortly after it became unsafe to cross the causeway, which had been passable earlier in the day.

Seahouses RNLI crews, supported by Holy Island and Berwick coastguards, swiftly responded to the emergency. The driver was safely brought ashore and assessed by ambulance services, reporting no significant issues. This event is notable as it is the first such rescue on the causeway this year, highlighting the persistent dangers of tidal crossings.
