VIDEO - Jeep Gets Toppled in Beach Sands and Driver gets Thrown Away
Another common cause is the lack of clearly marked traffic zones, resulting in collisions between vehicles and beachgoers, who may not expect cars in their path. Tidal changes and wet sand can further complicate driving conditions, causing vehicles to get stuck or suddenly lose control.
In areas where beach driving is permitted, authorities often enforce speed limits and restrict driving to designated zones. However, accidents still occur due to violations of these rules or lack of attention by both drivers and pedestrians. Alcohol consumption, often linked with beach activities, can also contribute to impaired driving.
The consequences of such accidents can be severe, including injuries to pedestrians, damage to vehicles, and harm to the environment, particularly to protected wildlife and fragile coastal ecosystems.
