The BMW X3 is really damaged. You can still see the interior but what the heck happened here. Did she drive into a 300 mpg flood that was crushing everything in its path? I don't understand
That incident occured not far from where I work...

We have a couple of low level bridges accross what are normally small streams here in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. In a heavy thunderstorm however these streams turn to raging torrents and flood even main road bridges.

The poor lady in question was warned by traffic officials not to cross the bridge but she ignored pleas citing that she was driving a BMW 4x4. The rest is a tragic. Her vehicle was flung down the torrent and peeled open like a tin of sardines.
