Driver abandons SUV on beach during Hurricane Dorian

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) ‐ Police came across an abandoned SUV near the shoreline in Myrtle Beach as Hurricane Dorian hit the Grand Strand.

A viewer sent WMBF News a picture of the Jeep around 38th Avenue North.

Police said that someone decided to drive the Jeep out on the beach and see how far they could take it, but ended up getting stuck. The driver ended up abandoning the Jeep.

Officers said there is not much they can do to get the Jeep out with Hurricane Dorian battering the coast, bringing heavy winds and rain to the area.

We have a news crew at the scene right now, monitoring what will happen to the Jeep as the tide comes in and Dorian hits our coastline.

#1 What exactly do those newsie expect will happen? And maybe the driver went for a swim in that rough surf and didn't make it back? Maybe the Jeep was stolen?

#2 I wonder how many slightly damp vehicles will be coming up for sale out of Florida and the Carolinas?

#3 My son works in IT at CarMax. A few years ago, when there were several big hurricanes, CarMax had a GREAT year - peoples cars were totaled by flood damage, so they used the insurance money to buy a new car.
I, on the other hand, work for an auto insurance company. We had a very bad year that year.

#4 Maybe he wanted to "sell" it to his insurance company.
