I witnessed that happen on a Cape Cod beach when I was a kid. Couple of
guys drove their Jeep out on the beach at low tide to do some surf
casting. They walked quite a ways from the Jeep and didn't realize the
tide was coming in.
A bunch of other people realized what was about to happen but couldn't
move it. Locked and no keys.
Someone called the police who in turn called a truck towing company that
had a long cable on a winch, but by the time it showed up it was too late.
All that was visible was the radio antenna.

Saw same thing in San Filipe, MX. Guy in jeep went out late in low tide
time and broke down. No one would go to get them as they did not want to be
awash. 12' tides. And 2 years ago, at Santa Cruz, could not launch the boat
for an hour. Until they pulled the brand new Ford Expedition to the side of
the ramp underwater. 2 guys with a new RIB and new Vehicle, launched all.
Forgot to put in 4x4 on a slippery ramp. Happens a couple times a year.
The ramp furnishes blocks for your wheels.
