The occupants were seen using containers to scoop and throw water out of the car.
“It’s a car they adapted to travel through water, but it flooded,” David told What’s The Jam.
“The video captures the moment they bailed out the water.
“They were able to navigate afterwards.”
In a second video, the car can be seen in working order.
