Moment car swept into sea in Scots village as Storm Kathleen batters Scotland
07.04.2024 - 18:41 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A car has been swept from a village seafront into the water as Storm Kathleen buffets Scotland with high winds. Footage from Lower Largo in Fife shows the grey vehicle being pulled into the Firth of Forth and battered by huge waves.
The car appears to have been swept into the water from the village's Main Street, where there is a gap between The Crusoe hotel and its neighbouring property. The small paved space between them leads down to the beach and is often occupied by parked cars.
But as Storm Kathleen continues to assault Scotland, it appears that it was too precarious a parking spot. Footage taken from the popular Fife holiday spot shows a grey hatchback starting to make its way onto the beach, which already appears completely flooded.
As the waves sweep over the car, it is dragged further and further away from its parking spot and out into the water. Waves batter the seafront buildings and crash on top of the vehicle.
It is spun and pushed against a wall before a huge wave nearly flips it over. It is smashed back into the wall before a sidewards wave pushes it further along the flooded beach.
The video concludes with waves continuing to crash over the car, sweeping it to and fro, with the water smashing into the wall and nearly soaking the person behind the camera.
It is not known if anyone was injured in the incident.
Storm Kathleen is the 11th named storm of the year and came to our shores on Saturday. It brought very strong and blustery winds which wreaked havoc with air and rail travel yesterday.
The high winds continued today, along with rain in parts of the country. The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) has 18 regional flood alerts and 43 flood warnings in place in Scotland.
