Cars Pulled From Sea After Sudden Tide
Redcar RNLI have recovered two cars from the sea off Teeside after drivers were caught out by the incoming tide.
The lifeboat was called out after multiple 999 calls about a car stuck in the sea with two people on its roof on Wednesday afternoon.
While dealing with this situation they were then called to a second car that had become submerged as the driver tried to hitch a boat trailer.
No one was injured in either incident.
The RNLI used a tractor to pulls the cars from the water to avoid pollution from the vehicles fuel tanks.
