Horror as car plunges off cliff near coastal landmark with man 'recovered' from the water
A car plunged hundreds of feet off a cliff near a coastal landmark in the Isle of Wight. It is understood a man was 'recovered' from the water by a lifeboat volunteer. The silver vehicle fell into the water below the cliff on Friday evening and was left wrecked. Emergency services were called at around 7.20pm to Alum Bay in the Isle of Wight. Police, firefighters, paramedics and coastguards all attended the scene following reports of a 'serious incident'. In a statement, the police said: 'We're currently at the scene of a serious incident in Totland. 'We were called at 7.21pm this evening (Friday, June 6) after a car, which was being driven along Alum Bay New Road, left the road, came off the cliff top and came to rest in the water below.' The cliff sits near the world-famous Isle of Wight Needles, which is a row of three stacks of chalk that rise about 30 metres above the water. Despite the incident, a one-day yacht race around the Isle of Wight, named The Round the Island Race, still went ahead yesterday. Yachts passed Alum Bay, where the car fell. The race attracts more than 1,200 boats and around 10,000 sailors a year. It is one of the largest yacht races in the world.
