A CAR believed to have a family inside became stranded while trying to cross a causeway during rising tides prompting a rescue mission. Emergency services - including a coastguard crew which led the operation - were called to Quay Lane, Kirby-le-Soken, at about 4pm on Thursday. Eyewitnesses reported seeing fire engines, ambulances, police cars and it has been suggested lifeboat crew members also attended. The reason for the emergency response came after a vehicle got stuck on the flooded causeway leading to Horsey Island and the Hamford Nature Reserve. Tilly Watts, 17, was out walking with her friend towards the backwaters when she spotted the blue flashing lights.
