A car ended up wedged in a rockpool after a driver went for a spin on a beach.

A mystery motorist drove the Ford Orion car onto the beach at Goring on Saturday night and abandoned it.

Dave Winstone, who operates a safety boat for Worthing Borough Council, spotted the vehicle trapped under three feet of water yesterday morning when he turned up for work.

He said: "The police were there and apparently this man had gone for a drive on Saturday night and had somehow got onto the beach.

"He got it stuck in one of the rockpools."

The car was towed out by a jeep from the nearby yacht club before being pulled out by a recovery vehicle.
