A BYD vehicle has been at the center of a highly controversial incident during the floods caused by Supertif\u00f3n Ragasa in Zhuhai, Guangdong province. The driver of a luxurious Yangwang U8<\/strong>, renowned for its amphibious capabilities, repeatedly traversed a completely inundated street. This peculiar maneuver led to significant disturbances, including the shattering of several windows and causing damage to local shops along the route.<\/p>\n On the night of September 24<\/strong>, while Supertif\u00f3n Ragasa unleashed torrential rains in Zhuhai, resulting in severe flooding in the Doumen District<\/strong>, a Yangwang U8 was witnessed traversing Jinwan Middle Road<\/strong> multiple times. Footage captured by local residents, later shared by the media outlet Car News China<\/a>, revealed that the SUV created substantial waves as it moved through the stagnant water, negatively impacting the facades of nearby stores.<\/p>\n The videos circulating on social media depicted shattered glass<\/strong> and deformed metal blinds<\/strong> that resulted from the force of the water. One affected shopkeeper recounted to local media, “After the vehicle passed, the entire electrical circuit collapsed,” noting that surveillance and other essential systems were rendered inoperative. The merchant expressed gratitude to the residents who recorded the incident, as this evidence would aid in lodging claims for damages.<\/p>\nWhat Happened<\/h2>\n
