Strange becomes stranger, still, when the thing you are looking at and trying to make sense of appears to come straight out of a movie script.
Such was the case in a viral video shared online, which shows what appears to be a Hyundai Creta compact SUV caught in the surf.
Social activist @Abramjee shared a picture and a clip of the bizarre occurrence on Sunday, 21 July.
He captioned it:

"Sunday afternoon dip: Ocean Marine Drive, Summerstrand, Gqeberha."
The clip shows the Hyundai caught in the surf off the Summerstrand beachfront, with its headlights flashing, likely from water rushing into and damaging the computer box.
Several bystanders look on, and hooting can be heard. However, it's unclear if it's coming from the trapped car or those of the onlookers.
It is also unclear if the driver was in the car, while authorities said no case was registered after the incident went unreported.
"Humewood police were never summoned to attend to a complaint [about] the video circulating," Gqeberha police spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse Van Rensburg told Briefly News.
