Dramatic footage has been released showing a car which plunged into the sea as the driver tried to board a ferry.
The incident sparked a heroic rescue mission when a passer-by, believed to be in his 60s or 70s, dived into the water and dragged the young driver out of the water to safety.
The drama unfolded around 1.30pm this afternoon.
One eye witness told the P&J: “It really was such a shock for everyone. Cars are loaded onto these ferries every day without incident.
“A man who looked in his 60s or 70s went straight in and saved the driver, after that first responders arrived quickly to look after both of the men.”
