Philly couple’s SUV accidentally rolls into river during intercourse

A couple narrowly avoided tragedy after their SUV rolled into the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia while they were having sex in the backseat. 

The incident occurred around 4:15 a.m. on Wednesday when the couple, in a 2020 Range Rover parked near Fairmount Park, accidentally knocked the gear stick, causing the vehicle to move. 

According to NBC10 and police reports, the SUV tumbled over the edge and sank into the river, about two miles from Philadelphia City Hall.

The couple managed to escape the vehicle before it plunged into the water and were unharmed. The Range Rover was later retrieved from the river around 9 a.m. No charges have been filed against the couple. 

The Philadelphia Police Department told NBC10 that the mishap likely occurred while the couple was “getting busy” in the vehicle. 

This incident follows another recent case where a car mysteriously drove into the Schuylkill River with no occupants found inside. The investigation is ongoing.
