The incident occurred mere weeks after a separate car drove into the Schuyl𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 River, according to Fox 29.
A witness fishing during the crash told the outlet they saw a 4-door sedan driving on the road near the river when it suddenly slammed on its brakes and backed into the river.
Strangely enough, no one was found inside that sedan when rescuers rushed to the scene despite all four doors being locked.
The Philadelphia Police Department is still investigating the Aug.16 incident.
