Couple Getting Steamy In Car Accidentally Roll Into River After Bumping Into Gear Shifter

A couple got a little too carried away with their steamy car session, so much so that they rolled into the river.

The unidentified pair from Philadelphia were “getting busy” in the backseat of a 2020 Range Rover, police told NBC10.

At one point, one of them accidentally bumped into the gear shift, sending the lovebirds rolling into the Schuylkill River.

Highlights
  • A Philadelphia couple rolled into the Schuylkill River after accidentally hitting the gear shift during a steamy car session.
  • Police confirmed the couple managed to escape the vehicle unharmed after it hit the water.
  • This marks the second vehicle to roll into the Schuylkill River in the past month.

The accident took place last Wednesday (August 28) along the 1900 block of Kelly Drive at 4:15 am.

After hitting the water, the couple managed to escape from the vehicle and emerged unharmed.

    “The Philadelphia Police Department responded to the 1900 block of Kelly Drive around 4:15 am. Police spoke to the vehicle owner of a 2020 Land Rover and he stated while parked in the parking lot, the gear shifter was accidentally hit and the vehicle started to roll into the Schuylkill River,” the Philadelphia Police Department stated, as per People Magazine.

    This is the second vehicle to roll into the Schuylkill River over the last month.

    The amorous pair had to wait until the following morning, around 9 am, for their white Range Rover to be fished out of the water near the Strawberry Mansion Bridge, marking the end of their passionate adventure.

    In 2017, a young Russian couple found themselves in a similar situation when they got frisky in the backseat of the car in the Volograd region of the country. Sadly, the incident had a catastrophic outcome. Evgeny Chernov and Yana Kryuchkova, both 22, were unable to escape the vehicle when it rolled into the lake, and they both drowned.

    “The lovers were shaking the car and it rolled down to the water. The young man and his girl failed to get out of the SUV in the water,” reported local news site Bloknot Volgograd at the time.

    Thank goodness I had the foresight to do it at a parking lot during my college year.

    Why do American drivers not use the handbrake (aka emergency brake) like the rest of the world?

    One of the stupidest assumptions about America that I've read on BP so far, congrats. We DO have handbrakes. Do you honestly think that every car that is shipped over has its handbrake removed before being put onto American road ways? Think about it. Does that make any sense?! Every single car in America, home made or foreign, have handbrakes. A story about one set of morons not using brakes properly doesn't mean ALL of America goes without. Good god. Common sense. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️
