The Mazda CX-5 is a common sight in shopping mall carparks but have you seen one knee-deep in the sea? Neither have we, but here’s one that was very nearly swept out to sea, shared by the cops from Kuala Sedili, Johor.
Two men and one woman were at the Pantai Temalah beach near Kota Tinggi, Johor in their SUV, when they ventured too far and got stuck. It was high tide and the Mazda’s occupants were too preoccupied, the cops said. Before they knew it, they were at the mercy of the ocean.
They called the cops and Kuala Sedili police chief SM Saidon Hadzri Bin Hj Abu Hassan and two officers rushed to the scene, assisted by two Tg Sedili residents. The local man, Iswandi, pulled the Mazda out of the water with his 4×4. The car’s occupants were safe and no injuries were reported. I bet they won’t be driving to the beach again anytime soon.
In this case, the city dwellers (most probably) clearly went too deep, but you don’t have to go so far down the beach to get stuck. Not in water, but in sand. When going to the beach, be sensible and only drive and park on firm ground, unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The owner really take the term SUV on his CX-5 literally.
Was it the FWD or AWD version? If FWD sure will get stuck in wet sand
Pure example of extreme stupid pple existence in this world
Make no mistake..no insurer will pay for this ‘act of stupidity”, even with special peril coverage.
It is like leaving your Merc benz at the carwash,only to discover someone has driven it off.U can sue the carwash operator who might only be a Rm2 company,with lots of debts.
In this case,u wanna sue who? The raging waves ?
Sue James Bond 007 Movie’s Submergible Undersea Vehicle (suv) that made the boys wanted to do the same
Nowadays insurance covered unnamed drivers.
Why the car wash operator driving accidents non-intentionally non-recklessly cannot claim?
If the car was stolen because the car wash staff handed the keys to an unknown person, the insurance won’t pay.
Pure stupid
S in SUV == Swim

Done that too with forester. No problem.
People always confused with a slightly increased ground clearence and the term ‘SUV’ and ‘AWD’. Think can go everywhere with that.
Lesson learnt: – nothing
