Yeah, crazy why take your car onto the beach? especially that far out.
Got to feel sorry for the chap who died though.

"The Mercedes hire car was recovered from the beach the following evening, after the BARB team decided they could not beat the tide in retrieving the car safely.
The couple driving the car said they had hired the car to come to the area and hadn’t realised that the mud could be so difficult for cars."

That hire car is a write-off, or a quick hose down and on the to the auctions..
