Apparently they not be strong swimmers. Darwin Award Contenders though.
"The bodies of Dominique Battle, 16, Ashaunti Butler, 15, and Laniya Miller, 15, were found after the car drove into the pond around 4 a.m. EDT (0800 GMT) as the driver apparently was trying to evade police, Gualtieri said."
The three teens had, between them, seven arrests - most of them for grand theft auto, he said. "On the eighth time, they died," Gualtieri said.
Dang the Luck.

If only every...........
Used to be an old joke about a fellow trying to steal more chain than he could swim with.
I guess they stole more car than they could swim with.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
wonder how many crimes they committed and did not get caught doing
You would go down to the county pool, there would be a hundred black kids in there, all clinging to the side. Wouldn't even wade out into the shallow end.
Scared of water I guess.
I grew up in Georgia and it was well known that black people just could not swim.

better watch it, i had a debate here with the nunn's on that very issue
It was around 4 a.m. when the car crashed into the retention pond at a cemetery near Gandy Boulevard and Interstate 275.
Woman folk or not, the scum are dead, and it's a good start

Not if you have this type of car.

The Volkswagen Schwimmwagen.
There were also some English amphib cars in the 60's and I think a couple of American commercial cars too.
And by that, I am referring to the poor SOB that loaned his car to his dumb-@$$ buddy, who "left it running at a WalMart"? What level of stupid is that? (on both of their parts!) See, once again, we focus on the criminals, with no concern for the victim... [V]
As to the little thieves? Who cares? "car became a death chamber" Oh well, they do that sometimes, I guess... [^]
Alright maybe I will. If you aren't going to teach them to swim at least make sure there lips are properly inflated.
i leaned how to swim when i was thrown into a pond, getting out of the bag was the hard part. i guess they never leaned the getting out trick. leave the car fill up and then open the door, if you panic your done. mr myopic.
what if it 75' deep ?
and the car manufacturer will be sued by black lives matter in 3...2...1
Or the car owner for letting it get stolen or the police for chasing them.............
Well for Pete's sake you guys! I just saw pictures of the drowned victims and they were WHITE! APRIL FOOL'S
Better look again.
Picture of the pond looks like they found the deepest part the rest has reeds growing on it.
The car goes into the pond, and the 19 year old gal calls her father.
NO! It is not time for the Iphone, for virtual reality.
She has all the reality she can stand. Her daddy and the policemen can't save her.
You go into the water you gotta get a window down before you lose electricity. Gotta get that seat belt off.
Then you swim 30 feet to the shore.
Unbelievable to me how helpless people are in these emergencies.
I bet you ten dollars AT LEAST 2 of those black girls in Florida were on the Iphones as the water filled the passengers compartment.
I sense shananighans.
"The car was stolen in St. Petersburg the night before, he said. The owner of the car told police a friend had borrowed it to give the girls a ride to a nearby park, the sheriff said.
On the way there, the friend stopped at a Walmart to buy a television, leaving the car running, and when he came outside, the girls had taken off with the car, Gualtieri said."
