Submerged car found 50m off Holy Island causeway
A car has been found submerged 50m (164ft) from Holy Island causeway.
Seahouses Lifeboat Station said it was called to reports of a car stranded at about 14:45 BST on Monday.
The Northumberland-based lifeboat crew located the vehicle underwater following the rising tide and searched it for identification to pass on to the Humber Coastguard.
The refuge hut was empty but while searching, the crew was informed Northumbria Police had located the owners safe on the island, the lifeboat station said.
Seahouses Lifeboat Station said the conditions were "blustery" and coastguard rescue teams from Holy Island, Berwick and Seahouses were also involved in the search.
