Fiat driver becomes stuck on Folkestone's Sunny Sands beach

A car got well and truly stuck on Folkestone's Sunny Sands beach today.

A Fiat 500 become wedged in the sand after the driver presumably took a wrong turn down a ramp towards the sea.

Tyre marks can be seen in the yellow sand, suggesting he did a few turns around the beach before getting stuck.
