The Musconetcong River flowing OVER the bridge on Newburgh Road at Rt. 57 in Mansfield Twp/Hackettstown. Watch as several complete idiots attempt to drive through the water. Luckily, no one got hurt. A cop showed up afterward and I hope these guys got a ticket for their stupidity. Look for my second video by same title (2 of 2) for another view of the same river that flooded an entire 5-block commercial zone! PS for folks who know me... my family's homes are on high ground. :)

you people are ignorant.

On what planet is someone NOT an idiot for attempting to drive through a flooded bridge? I'd call that idiotic, yes. Having "places to go" should not worth some risking their lives, don't you think? Or would the video have been "better" in your opinion if the guy had floated downstream and drowned?

Hold your phone horrazonatly next time and maybe not call people idiots they have places to go too

some of us know what we are doing, know the capabilites of our machines and know the power of the water. My a6 could have handled much more btw... my intake was high and out of the way, 4500lbs 4wd v8 fresh cv joints and cv boots,= no prob... so to call me stupid means you're ignorant

Explanation: I removed a comment from someone accusing us of calling the idiot in the car a "Jew" -- this person clearly didn't know what they were talking about, because what they heard was my French husband (whose father happened to be Jewish, I might add) explaining to his little boy in FRENCH that the people driving were idiots to take the risk. I don't think that "idiot" in French sounds like "Jew" but whatever.

what ppl need to realise is 2 things, 1st hop out and try to walk 1st, if its unsafe to walk through then dont take you car through, 2nd thing if safe enough to walk through then use low gears 2nd should be high enough and keep the revs up, if you back off water will go up your exhaust and stall your engine! and also by the sound of his exhaust he had one of those cannon exhaust which means his car is putting out lower pressure exhaust so he has more chance of water stalling him!

hold the camera sideways and your videos will come out looking a lot nice and capture the whole scene better.

What you can't see is the driver, after he first got out of the car, stripped off his wet pants right there in the street, and put on a pair of red shorts before he went back to push his car out. And obviously this is an incredibly stupid thing to have done, trying to drive across. A young woman in south Jersey died in her flooded car earlier this same day.
