Man stands on Porsche in flowery underwear after driving into ocean

On Thursday (14 Nov) night, a man in Chiayi, Taiwan drove a Porsche convertible into the ocean.

The 27-year-old driver was later rescued by coast guards after nearby residents alerted the authorities.

However, the man raised eyebrows with the state he was discovered in — standing on the Porsche in the ocean, clad in nothing except an open shirt and flowery underwear.

Man was in ‘poor mental state’ during accident

According to ETtoday, authorities were alerted to the accident at about 7pm — coastguards were mobilised for the rescue along with rescuers from the firefighting department.

Photos of the incident show a crane lifting the yellow Porsche out of the water.

The driver was conveyed conscious to the hospital, with no signs of alcohol or drug consumption.

However, the man was in a “poor mental state” when the coast guards rescued him — presumably the reason he drove into the ocean.

Local residents identified the 27-year-old as an unemployed man infamous for stirring up trouble in the area.

The Porsche belongs to the man’s father, who is a retired executive of a large company.

Netizens snort at behaviour

Many netizens appear unimpressed by the driver’s behaviours.

Some believe the man was constantly getting away with his shenanigans because of his financial backing.

Others joked sarcastically that luxury cars are a good bragging tool until accidents happen.
