KARACHI: Two cars were found floating in the surf at Karachi's Sea View beach on Tuesday after two drivers, allegedly racing, drove their vehicles into the sea.
There were no casualties reported in the incident.
The two drivers, in an attempt to overtake each other, drove the vehicles into the sea early on Tuesday, according to eyewitnesses.
The witnesses added that the occupants of the vehicles fled from the scene after the cars got stuck in deep water.
Although the number of passengers in the cars could not be ascertained, rescue services were called in as a precaution.
The cars were found empty after rescue teams reached the spot.

This is why parents should never allow children to drive unsupervised.

Rowdiness at its best. It is in Karachi only I have seen people taking their cars right on the beach sand.
I hope at least the salt water have done enough damage to the car to avenge this act.

Why would you drive the car towards the sea itself?? Don't see any logic ?

Catch the culprits and put them in jail as any developed country would do for such stupendous acts.

@Concerned There is a difference between a stupid act and a stupendous act. This was a stupid act.

At the very least, the owners should be made to pay for the entire cost of the recovery.
