Jeep gets mired in mud, abandoned in Pipers Lagoon Mar 6, 2019 10:04 AM

NANAIMO — An “act of stupidity” left a new Jeep stuck in the mud at Pipers Lagoon and likely ruined.

Police confirmed the Jeep became stuck in the lagoon when the owner and friends were enjoying a fire at the beach and decided to get creative with the vehicle.

Cst. Gary O’Brien said the owner was driving around the lagoon around 1 a.m. Wednesday morning during the low tide when the inevitable happened.

“As the tides come and go, sure enough his vehicle started to sink in the mud and his 2018 Jeep Wrangler was slowly disappearing out of sight.”
