ANOTHER croc-ing idiot has stunned tourists at Cahills Crossing after he chose to run over a croc on the flooded roadway rather than wait for the tides to change.

Liam Bentley was visiting from Adelaide with mates when he saw the Toyota Rav4 make the extraordinary move.

“He’s decided he wants to cross and he’s just gone full speed over the croc,” Mr Bentley said.

“The croc’s rooted the front of his car – it was about 2.5-3m – and then, because he’s going so fast, he’s overtaken his own wave and then his car was stuffed.”

Mr Bentley said the car’s owner then got out into the knee-deep water and banged on the engine with a stick before asking onlookers to “give him a push”.

“There would have been about 15 crocs around him,” Mr Bentley said.

Eventually a man who was fishing on the other side of the crossing used his 4WD to push the stuck vehicle off the crossing into safety.
