Monday went from bad to worse for two visitors at the Oceano Dunes when their SUV got stuck nearly up to its roof in Arroyo Grande Creek, and they ended up getting arrested once they made it to safety

A video taken by KSBY reporter Megan Abundis shows the vehicle almost completely submerged in the creek. Two surfers who saw the vehicle in distress rushed in and helped the two occupants and a dog to safety.

I don’t think you could get a car of recent vintage started because all of the electronics. As you note with it up to the roof I am sure it is totaled.

They just bought the wrong car. Need something that can be fully submerged and still go! Top Gear - Killing a Toyota

No, he tried to drive across the creek, which empties out over the beach and into the Pacific.
