A car that had 2 male occupants sank as they tried to drive along the canal!
The stunt happened as the Peugeot 206 drove along the Union Canal in West Lothian only to be stopped when it cracked the ice and sank. Fortunately the 2 male occupants got out, although they did flee the scene before police and other emergency services turned up.
Fortunately canal traffic was light with all the freezing weather and fortunately meant that the car didn’t have a head on collision with a canal barge!
The 2 occupants, aged 22 and 24 have been arrested and will be due up in court on counts of reckless conduct.
For anyone else thinking of driving on ice then booking an Ice Driving Experience is the safest way where you will get to drive a car on snow and ice on a special track so you can get your thrills this way.
