Driver's 25ft cliff fall at beach

The car on the beach at Nefyn

A holidaymaker escaped with minor injuries after her car fell 25ft down a cliff onto a beach in Gwynedd.

The car landed nose-first at Nefyn on the Lleyn Peninsula.

The tide was going out at the time and the woman, who is disabled, was helped from the car and treated at the scene by a paramedic.

She was attempting a three-point turn on a narrow slip road when she apparently put her foot on the accelerator by mistake.

A local woman, who did not wish to be named, said: "I got there two to three minutes after it had happened.

"The woman was out of the car and was being helped to walk along the beach.

"She did not appear to be injured, but was visibly upset by what had happened."
