Very lucky guy, could've been nasty.

More evidence of people thinking they're invincible.
At first i thought it was just a lucky pass that had me on the edge of my seat but the more i watch it the more i shake my head
What we don't know is how much damage he actually did to his Cruiser. The fan could have got buggered - I believe on some 4WDs the fan can end up through the radiator in situations like that. Water could have damaged lots of places we don't know about - the interior of the vehicle was drenched - we know that.
He was just so unbelieveably lucky to have been able to drive out of there. Don't know if there were any crocs about but he sure as hell didn't walk the crossing before he drove in - well, then again, maybe he did !!

I'm not sure about the physics of it, but I'd imagine it would be hard or impossible to open the front doors in that situation. There is no sunroof. The drivers mirrors were under water at one point. If he'd wound down the window to climb out, water would have rushed in till it filled and started to sink the car before the pressure equalised and he'd be able to swim out of it hopefully. Pretty damn lucky all round.
