Rescuers have faced a race against time to free a van trapped on a beach in Fareham.

The vehicle became stuck in sand on Hill Head beach in the early hours of Friday.

Hill Head Coastguard Rescue Team worked to recover the van before it was swamped by the incoming tide.

A recovery lorry pulled the van off the beach and it was returned to its "thankful" owner.
