This is the dramatic moment tourists and locals joined together to pull a pickup truck that was washed away by the sea back to shore.

The black Nissan was parked on the edge of the sand next to a seafood restaurant in Phuket, southern Thailand on July 28 afternoon.

However, the distracted driver left the automatic transmission in neutral while he ate dinner with a friend.

The ocean tide came in and lifted the the car into the sea before dragging it out into the surf.
