OCEAN SHORES — Police say officers rescued a family from a car that was stuck on a Washington state beach just before the surf flipped it over.
Radio station KBKW reported that a family from Kent had been driving their brand new Infinity on the beach at Ocean Shores, on the southwest Washington coast, Thursday evening when the tires sunk into the sand.
A man and a woman had already gotten out of the car when police arrived, but an older man and woman were still inside, and the woman was holding a 6-month-old baby. An officer forced open the door to help them out, and when they were about 20 feet from the car, another wave lifted the vehicle out of the sand and flipped it over.
Crews used a bulldozer to flip the car back over before a tow truck pulled it from the beach.
