If you are in a vehicle submerged in water, you have limited time to escape. It’s important to stay calm, unfasten your seatbelt and immediately try to open a side window. Due to the water pressure, do not try to open the vehicle door.
If you are unable to open the window due to water, try to use the metal rods from a seat’s headrest to brake the corners of the window. Keep in mind that water will rush in fast once you open the windows, but you should still be able to push through it to get out of the vehicle. Once broken, swim out!
Once you are out safe, call 911 and report the incident and have an ambulance sent to assist you.
