33. With a little imagination you can probably come up with some scenarios

The water didn't look that deep and the driver thought he/she could drive through.

It was in an intersection which had deeper water running through it and it pushed the car sideway so the driver realized the current was too strong to try to walk in it.

The driver panicked because he/she didn't know how to swim

Maybe there were old feeble people or little children or both and there was no time to evacuate the car before the water level rose.

the car engine stalled as the water level rose.

the water made it impossible to open the car doors without flooding the car and drowning the passengers.

There are plenty of scenarios.
