He drove about a mile along the beach, nearly hitting several people on the beach, before the car came to a stop after being partially submerged.
I knew it was a good day to hit up the beach ? , looks like a stolen car & the guy ran plus he almost ran over me & Manuel when he came into the beach ?

He was holding an open can of beer when police spotted him.
