The accident occured on Friday, October 8, under mysterious circumstances.
After a search that spanned over several days, agents of the capital’s Civil Protection unit retrieved the vehicle in the depths of the ocean.
Authorities were able to locate the vehicle after noticing the formation of oil bubbles on the surface of the water.
The vehicle, a grey Volkswagen Passat CC, was found stuck between rocks in the Ank El Jabal area, on the coastline of Rabat.
Since the evening of the incident, teams of civil protection and divers have been trying to find the car engulfed under the waves, but the turbulence of the sea, and heavy rainfall prevented them from successfully applying rescue procedures.
The next morning, Civil Protection agents were again unable to get to the sea because of weather conditions.
Divers had to break the submerged car’s closed windows and used electric saws to cut parts of the vehicle in order to exhume the body and transport it to the morgue for an autopsy.
Information from the ongoing investigation confirmed that there was a body in the car, revealing the deceased was a 57-year old Moroccan man, who worked as a general supervisor in a high school in Rabat.
