“We thought a speed boat was being launched as we heard an engine being revved then the next thing the car was in the water.

“The lifeguards and public managed to get the occupants of the car out and, as far as I’m aware, they are all okay. The emergency services and Coastguard then arrived on the scene.”

A police spokesman confirmed that a car had been reported in the water around 3.40pm and all occupants of the car were able to get out safely with no injuries.”
