A couple got a little too carried away with their steamy car session, so much so that they rolled into the river.
The unidentified pair from Philadelphia were "getting busy" in the backseat of a 2020 Range Rover, police told NBC10.
At one point, one of them accidentally bumped into the gear shift, sending the lovebirds rolling into the Schuylkill River.

The amorous pair had to wait until the following morning, around 9 am, for their white Range Rover to be fished out of the water near the Strawberry Mansion Bridge, marking the end of their passionate adventure.
In 2017, a young Russian couple found themselves in a similar situation when they got frisky in the backseat of the car in the Volograd region of the country. Sadly, the incident had a catastrophic outcome. Evgeny Chernov and Yana Kryuchkova, both 22, were unable to escape the vehicle when it rolled into the lake, and they both drowned.
"The lovers were shaking the car and it rolled down to the water. The young man and his girl failed to get out of the SUV in the water," reported local news site Bloknot Volgograd at the time.
