Kent, UK — On May 28, people on the Whitstable Beach were welcomed by a strange sight: a car was swept out to sea, and it was already beginning to submerge. Lee Dolby, a local, managed to catch the incident on camera.
In the clip, you can see a man whizzing around the car on a jet ski while Dolby zooms in on the car, which by this point is bobbing around in the sea.
Another man appears wearing a life jacket and attempts to get hold of the car, but has no success.
‘That geezer’s just lost his car,’ Dolby can be heard saying in the clip.
As the severity of the situation begins to dawn on everyone, a third person appears with a rope and wades into the water to attach it to the front of the car.
In the end, Dolby and his son, along with other people in the scene, were able to retrieve the Volkswagen and drag it back on land. The car won’t start, however.
The said car apparently parked a little too close to the sea, which is why it got dragged off the waves.
I guess the car badly needed a carwash.
