Diver Cops Rescue Pickup Truck Caught In Breezy Point Tide

QUEENS, NEW YORK -- Police had to rescue a family who drove their pickup truck onto a Queens beach then got caught during high tide on Sunday.

The family was fishing on Breezy Point Beach near Oceanside Avenue at about 5:25 p.m. when the water rushed in and flooded the truck, police said.

The passengers, a 28-year-old woman and three men aged 58, 44 and 27, found themselves trapped inside the truck when its tires sunk into the sand, according to police.

A police helicopter found the truck and divers from the NYPD scuba unit swam toward the family and helped them make their way toward shore, said police.

None of the four people were injured and the investigation by the United States Park Police remains ongoing.
