Five trapped on car roof during rising tide

Five people were rescued from a car roof after their vehicle became stuck in the rising tide.

Rescuers and paramedics were called to Holy Island causeway just after 15:00 GMT on Monday.

The group was taken to shore to a waiting ambulance. No-one was reported to have been injured.

Berwick Coastguard Rescue Team said it was its second call-out to the causeway in almost 24 hours.

A spokesperson said: "Across both days we experienced tides in excess of five metres.

"These tides were deep enough at high tide to almost completely submerge both vehicles."
