Neapoli authorities investigate car found in sea
Authorities in Neapoli, Crete, are investigating the discovery of a vehicle submerged in the sea at the rocky beach of Agios Antonios. Investigators are examining whether the car is the same one featured in a viral video showing a dangerous illegal maneuver on the BOAK highway, where the driver crossed over dividers into oncoming traffic.
Police are considering several scenarios, including whether the vehicle ended up in the water by accident or was intentionally driven and dumped in this remote location to avoid detection. The choice of this specific, inaccessible site is being scrutinized, as the narrow road makes it difficult for heavy crane vehicles to reach the area.
A diver inspected the vehicle to check for trapped occupants and reported that no one was inside. Authorities suggest that if the car was dumped intentionally, multiple individuals may have been involved, noting that the perpetrators appeared to have significant familiarity with the local terrain.
