The red, Mazda 2 vehicle was spotted on Saturday by social media users who began sharing photos and joking about its predicament.

While one joked about it's sat nav directions another said: "Looks like the engine is flooded".

Another posted: "He was told to dip the headlights".

Paul Frost MBE, Rhyl RNLI Lifeboat's Deputy 2nd Coxswain and Lifeboat Press officer, tweeted a photo from today (Sunday) and their part in assisting with the rescue.

He said: "The owners arrived and we offered a few pounds of help.

"It took about twenty minutes of digging to release it. About 12 volunteers were involved.

I don't know where the owners were from but the vehicle was taken away on a low loader."
