An Amazon delivery van got stuck on one of Britain’s most dangerous coastal paths, the Broomway, while trying to reach Foulness Island in the Thames estuary. The driver had followed GPS directions onto the treacherous mudflats, which are known for their quick-rising tides and deadly history. HM Coastguard received a report at 11:30 am on 15 February about the van stuck on the Broomway. This 600-year-old path is called the deadliest in the country, with dozens of deaths recorded. Edwardian newspapers even called it “the Doomway.” When coastguards reached the van, the driver had already fled to safety. The Southend Coastguard rescue team warned that the Broomway is not for vehicles and should only be crossed on foot with a guide familiar with the mudflats. The area is also military property and is only accessible when firing ranges are inactive and barriers are open. The correct route to Foulness Island is via the left barrier, through the QinetiQ security office. Coastguards confirmed that a driver and passenger were in the van when it entered the mudflats on Saturday evening. Their primary concern was the safety of the occupants and preventing pollution. With the driver safe and the vehicle scheduled for removal, the coastguards stood down their operation. The van was finally removed by 3:30 pm on Sunday by Amazon.
