Dodge Challenger goes for a swim in Florida
So it turns out Dodge Challengers aren't great in water
A man in Florida has crashed his car into a lagoon. According to photographer, Kozmo Koz, the driver of a red Dodge Challenger accidently reversed over a parking space kerb, rolled down a hill whilst narrowly avoiding trees and a table before entering the water. Now that's a bad day.
Hello, insurance company, you're not gonna believe this but...
The man at the heart of the action, Kozmo Koz described the incident: "Jupiter inlet yesterday. An 80 year old guy accidentally went over a parking kerb, in-between palm trees and a solid concrete table. Went down the hill and right into the lagoon. He was alright, air bags deployed but luckily he didn’t hit anyone that was playing in the sand and water."
Challenger for sale, some slight water damage
The car entered the water so harshly that the its airbags deployed. Thankfully, the driver wasn't hurt, and no members of public were harmed.
Too many horses to handle methinks
Many people have questioned the driver's motive. Some say it was an insurance fraud scam, as you'd need to hit the kerb with considerable force, whilst dodging many obstacles in order to 'accidently' enter the water. Others are happy to accept that the driver just wasn't concentrating and mistook the beach for a race track.

Pedal misapplication. A perfect excuse for being an moron.
😂👌
Being 80 I am sure reaction time for this chap is rather reduced, so if he recognized he was going the wrong way the mayhem of the descent would have made him freeze up while fruitlessly trying to think of what to do.
I doubt anyone risks manslaughter charges for an insurance payout. Also, the man's 80.
Yeah I agree with you there.
Neither. It's just another day of another Florida man
That’s for sure...
Florida man... says it all
Obviously Toyboata is a better swimmer than this Dodge 😂
