The driver of this £58,000 Porsche Cayenne vehicle managed to scramble free without injuries after dramatically careering off the road into a rhyne near Burnham-On-Sea early on Monday morning (September 15th).

The luxury 4×4 vehicle, which is only two years old, ended up partially submerged in the water besides Yarrow Road in Mark following the accident at midnight.

Nearby residents told Burnham-On-Sea.com that the driver – a local man – received a few stern words from his wife, who is the owner of the vehicle.

“He swerved off the road while trying to avoid a deer,” added one resident, who asked not to be named. “He definitely had a lot of explaining to do when he got home!”

A police spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com that no-one had been injured in the incident.

Ditches and rhynes along narrow roads in the area have claimed many vehicles during recent years, but none quite as expensive as this high-end car. Last October, two vehicles plunged into ditches along Harp Road during slippery road conditions.
