PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia police responded to an unusual - and rather awkward - incident on the Schuylkill River early Wednesday morning.

Police say a man and woman were engaging in sexual activity in the backseat when the woman accidentally disengaged the gear, causing the vehicle to roll right into the water.
