Lifeboat crews called to car stuck on Achmelvich beach

Lifeboat crews were called to a car reportedly stuck on a Highland beach.

RNLI Lochinver received the call at around 1.40pm to the incident on Achmelvich beach, about three-miles north along the coast.

The crew were paged and a lifeboat was launched.

When they arrived, the team noticed the car was perched high on the sand and away from the water’s edge on a falling tide.

Crews concluded there was little the lifeboat could do to help the situation, they were stood down and returned to Lochinver.
