It is reported the car rolled off the slipway and into the water. Tom Hollingum and Claire Nadaf took the footage of the car being lifted out of the sea by a large crane. All Sandbanks Ferry services were suspended as a result of the incident. There was congestion in the area as emergency services responded.
Dorset Police said yesterday (June 15): "We received a report at 2.22pm of an incident involving a car in the water at Banks Road in Sandbanks, Poole. Officers have attended and are liaising with the coastguard and the harbourmaster.
"The incident has resulted in the suspension of the Sandbanks Ferry and congestion in the area. Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible.
"It has been confirmed the car is unoccupied and there are no reports of any injuries."
This year, the harbour resort became the most expensive place to live in the world with a single waterside bungalow selling for an incredible £13.5million. The four bedroom home is on the Sandbanks peninsula at Poole Harbour and had been in the same family for 117 years after a botanist bought it back then for £1,000.
The chalet bungalow, called North Haven Point, was extended in the 1950s and has a floor space of just 2,909sq ft. It means the price paid for it equates to £4,640 per square foot, beating the value of property in Monaco, Hong Kong and New York.
