IT took workers just 15 minutes to remove a bogged SUV from Henley Beach this morning, after a woman and her dog were rescued from the car last night.

About 9.30pm, police were called to the area following reports a Kia Sportage was driving along the beach, near the surf lifesaving club. It is believed the woman was trying to cross the River Torrens outlet at Henley Beach South when the car became bogged, and the pair and had to be rescued. The 72-year-old woman was taken to hospital for assessment and detained under the Mental Health Act, while the dog remains in the care of the council. Workers from the Charles Sturt Council arrive on the scene earlier this morning to decide how to remove the car. An excavator was brought in to assist in recovery efforts, and the car was out of the water by 9am.
