Teenagers car submerged by the sea when he goes for a picnic

When Andy Laird returned from a picnic to collect his car, he found his Vauxhall Corsa submerged in the sea. The teenager had failed to check the tide times before leaving his car at the beach in Burnham-on-Sea. The 19-year-old returned from a walk up the nearby Brean Down to find the vehicle caught in the tide. The beach warden and a team from rescue charity Burnham Area Rescue Boat were called. They ensured no-one was stuck inside or putting themselves at risk trying to reach the vehicle, while helping with its retrieval. It has now prompted a warning to visitors with cars to check tide times before driving onto beaches.
