California Rescuers Save Driver After Jeep Becomes Fully Submerged on Beach

WPBN: The driver of a Jeep that had become immersed in the ocean waters at a beach in California over the weekend was safely rescued by the authorities, who were able to effectively navigate “challenging conditions” to do this.

Corona del Mar Main Beach, which is conveniently located near Newport Beach, California, was the location where the event took place early on Saturday morning, December 14.

The Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) and the Newport Beach Fire Department have reported that emergency workers responded to a call of a car that was submerged in water at approximately 5:30 a.m. local time.

As soon as the authorities arrived, they saw that the truck had been repeatedly overturned and beaten by the tremendous waves that were present in the surf.

Despite the difficult circumstances, rescue workers were successful in locating the driver and pulling them out of the water, ensuring that they and their passengers were unharmed.

After the driver was carried ashore, a number of different emergency units collaborated in order to provide direct medical attention at the scene of the accident. The subject was subsequently sent to a local hospital for additional evaluation and treatment after being transferred there.

The severity of the issue was brought to light by photographs taken at the scene, which showed the black Jeep Wrangler completely buried in the waves of the ocean.

After the waves had rolled the vehicle and partially buried it in the sand, it was necessary to use heavy equipment in order to retrieve it from the ocean.

Following the evacuation of the vehicle from the water, members of the Public Works department assisted in the process of towing the Jeep away from the beach.

“The teamwork and determination of all responders were critical in overcoming the hazards posed by the early morning surf,” Newport Beach police officials stated.

To find out how and why the car ended up in the ocean, the Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) is currently investigating the incident. The factors that led to this unexpected and alarming incident are being investigated by authorities.

The site is a well-known and well-liked beach in Orange County, California, which attracts a lot of surfers and divers because of its natural beauty and ideal water conditions.
