If you look at that again after his momentum dies ,

its the exhaust acting as a jet that gets him to the far bank where he then gets the traction on the front wheels.

The old fashioned technique for getting across that would have been to open a door and let the water in, the wheels would then hit the bottom. Won't work these days with fancy interiors and electronics,would write the vehicle off :rolleyes:

They were lucky the water wasn't fast flowing, woman was killed in the UK driving across a ford in a 4x4 last year when it was swept downstream and wedged under a bridge.

Of course if it was an old Land Rover it would have filled up anyway through the holes and panel gaps
