IT HAS finally been set free — this 4x4 was stuck in the sand at Binstead for about 24 hours.

Bembridge Coastguard Rescue Team capped off a busy bank holiday weekend by attending Players Beach to help with the rescue on Sunday evening, on the request of Solent Coastguard.

However, on arrival the vehicle had already been safely recovered. No one had been hurt during the incident.

It is believed the vehicle got stuck while helping launch a boat.
