They turned around to see their bZ4X rolling down the ramp.

The driver claims they thought the vehicle was in park.

“I started feeling the car rolling a little bit. I grabbed a snow brush to try to stop it, and it wouldn’t stop…” the passenger said.

“Next thing you know, I did everything I could, rolled down the window, and I climbed out and jumped in the water.”

The driver and passenger are expected to be ok, according to NBC10 Boston.

The car was recovered from the water, but understandably will be written off after having been fully submerged.
