Welcome to Australia! Foolish backpackers get their soft roader stuck trying to drive on a beach then SMASH into 44 trying to rescue them
Tourists got their car stuck on the beach after driving a Subaru onto the sand
The driver then reversed into a four-wheel drive that was towing them out
Car was badly damaged and most of the rear of the vehicle had caved in
A group of backpackers who got their car stuck on a beach thought they were in luck when a 4x4 owner offered to tow them out of the sand.
But the travellers were left with an even bigger headache after they failed to apply the brakes - and ended up smashing into the back of the Land Rover.
A series of hilarious videos show the Good Samaritans slowly dragging the Subaru out of the sand after it got bogged down at Inskip Point on Rainbow Beach in south east Queensland.

A group of backpackers who got their car stuck on a beach thought they were in luck when a 4x4 owner offered to tow them out of the sand

But as the Land Rover comes to a gentle stop after pulling the Subaru for a few metres the car driver fails to notice and continues to reverse.
'Brake brake' a woman shouts as the car plows into the back of the four-wheel drive with an almighty crunch.
Two people in the rear of the shot can be seen with their heads in their hands but others seem to see the funny side.
'No one's hurt guys it happens' one man is heard saying.
No serious damage appears to have been done to the 4X4 but the same cannot be said for the car.
The rear of the Subaru has caved in while the bumper and rear window look damaged.

The driver of the car (right) looks distinctly glum as he clambers out of the wrecked car
'Landy hasn't got a mark on her' one man remarks.
'Landy's good to go' another replies.
While they seem in high spirits the driver of the car looks distinctly glum as he clambers out of the wrecked car.
The man who says he does not have an Australian driving license appears to be a tourist and was travelling with surfboards on the top of his car.
