A pregnant woman had to be rescued after she apparently reversed her car off the edge of a harbour. Dramatic pictures posted on Twitter show the vehicle hanging almost vertically from the wall at the harbour marina in Ramsgate, Kent.
Kent_999’s Twitter account said the woman was pregnant and had been helped to safety after “accidentally reversing” off the concrete just before 7pm on Friday night.
They tweeted: “A pregnant woman’s been rescued after accidentally reversing off the quayside into the harbour onto a floating pontoon.”
Police and paramedics raced to the scene at Military Road, said Kent Online.
Firefighters had to use a winch to keep the car steady as crew climbed down to free the woman who was inside the vehicle. Kent Fire and Rescue Service said they would use a crane to lift the vehicle back on to the jetty. She did not suffer any injuries, the website reported.
