An accident occurred when a Kia Seltos crashed into the beach sand, performed a somersault, and then overturned.
According to Australian media, a Seltos vehicle suddenly crashed and overturned on the sandy beach of Balmoral Beach in Sydney recently, but the 33-year-old driver and passenger in the vehicle were not seriously injured.
There was a concrete barrier separating the beach’s grass embankment from the sand, but the Seltos struck the concrete barrier and eventually flew into the sand and overturned. At the time, the sandy beach was full of vacationers enjoying the sun, but fortunately, no one was in the area where the car hit, and it is reported that no one was injured in the accident.
According to reports, the driver of the Seltos tried to back out of a parking space, but suddenly lurched forward and ejected. The recorded video shows the Seltos rapidly accelerating towards a concrete barrier, breaking the concrete wall, and jumping straight onto the beach.
Witnesses said a family was on the sand moments before the Seltos capsized on the beach. Some witnesses were concerned that the vacationers may have been crushed under the vehicle, but fortunately, the vacationers reportedly moved away before the accident.
After the accident, both the driver and passenger escaped from the vehicle safely and received treatment from emergency responders who arrived.
Australian police said they conducted a breathalyzer test on the driver, but the results came back negative. However, judging from the fact that the Seltos vehicle had a ‘P-plate’ sticker attached, it can be seen that the driver was driving with a temporary driver’s license. In Australia, this sticker means that the driver has not yet received a full license and is still learning to drive the vehicle.
