Overview
- The luxury SUV, first seen drifting near Abersoch’s Main Beach on Sunday morning, vanished under the 10am high tide.
- A paddleboarder spotted it at about 7:30am, her husband captured drone footage as it sank, and she later paddled over the submerged roof at 8:55am.
- Local farm workers later hauled the vehicle out using about three tractors and diggers, and the owner remains unknown.
- Witnesses reported a tow rope on the back of the car, pointing to a likely attempt to move it before the water rose.
- Reporters noted that seawater usually ruins cars and can make insurance claims difficult in incidents like these, which locals say happen often in this affluent coastal resort.
