Scilla, Italy - January 10, 2026 This is the terrifying moment that a sudden ocean surge crashed onto a coastal road in the Italian town of Scilla, forcing two cars to stop and reverse as they attempted to enter a seaside tunnel. On January 11, 2026, in Scilla, Calabria, Italy, the video captured a dramatic scene along a narrow cliffside roadway when a massive wave suddenly rose from the Tyrrhenian Sea and smashed across the pavement. Two vehicles were seen approaching the tunnel entrance when the water violently swept over the road, flooding the lane within seconds. Drivers slammed on their brakes as spray and debris filled the air, making visibility difficult and leaving the cars briefly stranded between the surf and the tunnel mouth. The video ended with both vehicles slowly reversing away from the surging water while waves continued to pound the shoreline, and no injuries were reported.
