BMW nearly swept away during bizarre drunken photo stunt on beach

Watch the dramatic moment a tourist’s BMW was nearly swept away during a drunken beach photo stunt.

A group of intoxicated men experienced a mishap by the sea when they drove the black sedan to the coast in Dzhubga, Russia, on 14 May.

Footage shows the vehicle near the water, being struck by huge waves as the tyres became stuck in the wet sand and the engine stalled.

The men attempted to push the car out of the sand with a cable, and after minutes of tugging and with the help of waves slamming into the side of the vehicle, it loosened the ground just enough for them to move it out.

After the mishap, police officers revoked the driver’s license for driving under the influence.
