This is the dramatic moment coast guards raced out to a van submerged off the coast of Yorkshire, UK at dawn on Tuesday.

Bridglington RNLI crew boarded the inshore lifeboat (ILB) 'Ernie Wellings' and rushed to the vehicle found sinking between the HM Coastguard station and Sewerby steps on August 1.

They arrived at the scene at 6:10 am and conducted a search of the waterlogged van, but found no one inside.

The volunteers returned to the beach by 6:20 am after updating the Coast Guard and police.

Ash Traves, Volunteer Helm of the ILB, said: 'We managed to get the ILB launched this morning and made good speed on a calm sea reaching the van in 10 minutes. We made a thorough and safe search of the van and ensured that no persons were trapped inside.'
