4WD Truck So Bogged!

[steve4wdaus]

Hi all
Little bit of curiosity here. How did this truck get in such a terrible situation? Especially ask those with beach driving experience. Somwthing I hope none of us experience. Sorry haven’t found a YouTube version of the video to post yet.
Cheers Steve

I remember this rock formation extended out in the ocean from our recent visit to Fraser. Location can be Poyungan Rocks or Yidney Rocks on eastern beach. Both these places have inland bypass tracks. At low tide there is temptation to go around it but there can be sort of quicksand sections where invisible liquified sand can't support the weight of heavy vehicles and the truck can bog down. Looks like at high tide (+ stormy conditions) it was rolled over and smashed to the rock. My guess only.

Yidney rocks is a correct guess. Interesting about the quick sand. Wow. I didn’t know. I though that a myth

In another incident at Fraser, last year a tourist bus was bogged down while attempting to rescue a beached plane.
Luckily both had happy ending. Bus did spend the night in high tide though.

Rising tide strands plane … and the bus that came to its rescue

When a bus driver saw a plane bogged on this Fraser Island beach, he tried to help tow it out. But that's how he got into a sticky situation.

It's an Isuzu.

Yea, I know not a good joke.
Quick sand in parts of beaches is quite common. I can say that it probably hasn't been smashed on the rocks, the wave action is all that is needed to rip a vehicle apart.

Yeah the rusty looking marks on its roof look like where the coffee rock has rubbed against it. Looks like been pushed over and righted itself as tide went out.

driver tried to race the tide instead of going over the bypass , an extra 5 minutes. imo he has driven too close to the base of the rocks where there is always a deep hole caused by the wave action, once you stop in the surf waves the sand washes out from under the wheels and sucks the vehicle in. If the tide is dropping you may have a chance but in this case tide was rising so there was no hope. One tide over a vehicle will destroy it. more so if you have big seas. First and most important thing about beach driving is not to race an incoming tide

It’s only a bit of a scratch it will polish out ....
That area of Fraser has claimed a lot of vehicles over the years...
My mate lost a brand new troopy there years ago .....

4x4 can't make up for all bad desisions.
