A Ford ute loading a jetski has plunged into the ocean after the driver reportedly got his thongs stuck under the vehicle's pedals.
The 27-year-old driver was loading jetskis into the vehicle at Mornington, Victoria, when it reversed off a jetty and plummeted into the water at 3pm on Friday. It was fully submerged.
Police reported the man made multiple trips to the sinking ute to save his personal belongings.
No injuries were reported and police have ruled out alcohol or drugs as a contributing factor to the incident.
"It was something you would only see in a car insurance ad. No one could do anything but watch it drift out to sea," witness Mitchell Beer told Radio 3AW
