Dodge Dakota Tries to Be a Boat. Fails.

By Tony Markovich - November 10, 2015

Pro tip: Don’t try to drive through flood waters. You, nor your truck, will win that battle.

For some reason, this Dodge Dakota driver looked at the massive stream of water and thought, “Yeah, I can make it through there.” Let’s do a quick assessment of things that could have told him that was a horrible idea.

The water he is driving toward is almost up to the speed limit sign.
There’s a truck already stuck.
There’s a truck getting ready to launch a boat.
There’s a fire truck already on watch.
LOOK. AT. THAT. WATER. JESUS.

This happened during the deadly torrential flooding in Columbia, South Carolina, and this guy is lucky to get out of this situation. The truck is eventually swallowed, and thankfully, the guys nearby come to his rescue.
