A trip to the beach has gone spectacularly wrong for the owner of a Honda CR-V tonight (Friday), with the 4×4 now surrounded by the sea after becoming stuck in the sand near Ryde.
The Honda appears to have been recovering a jet ski from the water on the beach to the west of Ryde Pier, between Binstead and Ryde, when things took a rather soggy turn.
The vehicle became stuck in the sand and, unfortunately for its owner, the incoming tide wasn’t prepared to wait around for a recovery. The result… the Honda is getting rather more acquainted with the sea than its owner intended.
Waves are now lapping around the stranded CR-V as the water continues to rise, leaving the 4×4 looking increasingly more like a submarine than a family SUV.
The vehicle could become completely submerged if it remains in position as the tide continues to rise, with high tide not until 00:36.
I know the Island have a thing about parking on
pavements, roofs and double yellow lines
but this type of parking is taking things to another
level.
I wonder if the driver “WAVED”
Oh, you’re so funny.
Any chance a DFL the tide won’t wait for your 4 wheel drive!!
Could be a local numpty.
Wow… amazing how dumb some people can be.
Another PWC owner getting it wrong, wanker
Must’ve been too distracted resisting the unbearable urge to light up a disposable BBQ, shame that
The driver has found much to his cost that Ryde “sands” don’t extend West of the pier very much. He’s done nothing for the sea grass beds there either.
And the Darwin prize this week is awarded to…..
cant park there mate!!
At least another prick off the road.
Oh dear how sad Jet ski? Poser.
What a pratt. Wondered if insurance would still pay out if the driver is at fault
It certainly won’t do his next year’s premium any favours!
will a traffic warden wade out to give a ticket for not having the correct boat licence
Hahaha that made me laugh ! Then I thought, yes there will be one jobs worth bung hole, the one with the double yellow lines on a roll, drunk with perceived power. Most of us will have met one, in most walks of life and that twat would wade out, swim if he/she needed too, just to ticket it.
BLAM £30 on the spot.
