Man reported for driving without due care and making a false report to police after bogged car found at Glenelg Beach

The deep muddy story behind how a car came to be bogged in the shallows of a popular Adelaide beach has been revealed.

The owner of a car found beached at Glenelg earlier this week has admitted the incident was his fault.

Raj, 38, originally said teens had stolen his sedan after it was found bobbing in the breakers.

He now says the incident was “completely his fault.

“I didn’t drive it on the beach, but it’s my fault,” he told 7News.

When asked further about the two teenagers who he alleged stole his vehicle while he was working a shift at Noodle Box he declined to answer further, saying he “didn’t want to talk about it anymore”.

A witness told ABC Radio Adelaide the car was “bobbling” in the water.

Media legend Peter Goers was one of the first at the scene.

“This is very unusual … It’s a white car and it’s sort of diagonally in the water and the waves, it’s very rough sea this morning, and the waves are sort of … overwhelming the car,” he said.
