English in the News - Van Overboard

A news report appeared in the Sun with the headline "Van Overboard".  Seemingly a man parked his van on Redcar beach in Yorkshire, only to see it sink into the sand as the tide came in.

The headline is a play on the phrase "Man Overboard", which is shouted out if someone is seen falling into the sea from the deck of a ship or boat.
