POLICE, coastguards and paramedics were alerted to Teignmouth’s Point car park where a car had gone over the sea wall.

The vehicle appeared to have ploughed through barrier fencing and ended up in the sea.

The incident happened just after 11.20 on Saturday night.

When the emergency services arrived at the scene, the car’s occupants had managed to get themselves out of the vehicle.

They were treated by paramedics.

Dawlish coastguards were also alerted.

A spokesman said: ‘ We checked what obvious pollution may be entering the sea from the car, and thankfully there was none.

'Our team stayed and assisted in condoning off the area and provided lighting for the specialist recovery to safely remove the car.

‘Please stay safe around the point car park, closest to the lighthouse, while temporary barriers are in place.

‘These temporary barriers are not designed to take the weight of people.’
