A car was moments away from plunging into the sea after it edged over the side of the pier at Portrush on the North Coast on Tuesday morning at about 9.30 am.
The car moved forward from the council car parking bays facing the harbour and both front wheels tipped over the pier perimeter, leaving the vehicle sitting on its metal frame with its bonnet above the waves.
A van was used to tow the white car back onto its four wheels on solid ground and no one was injured in the incident.
Portrush is a small harbour enclosed by two piers where it is possible to berth alongside a pontoon or to pick up moorings in the harbour area.
Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council in whose area Portrush Harbour lies, was asked for comment on the incident but it was not received at time of press
