Videos taken by onlookers and posted on social media showed the vehicle being tossed around in waves.
An ice cream van was washed out to sea by an incoming tide at a popular beach in Cornwall. Images also showed beachgoers attempting to rescue the Kelly Whip ice cream van from the water. It is believed no one was hurt in the incident at Harlyn Bay, near Padstow. Richard Higman, who filmed the incident, said the van had been driving around the beach selling ice cream. He told Sky News: 'The driver had apparently off-loaded the ice cream, when the tide came in over the van and swamped it.
' He added: 'When the tide went out, a farmer went down with his tractor and put a rope on it and towed it up the beach.'
