Being trapped in a submerged vehicle is a terrifying experience, but knowing how to escape can increase your chances of survival. If your car is ever submerged in water, it is important to remain calm and follow these steps:
1. Unbuckle your seatbelt and open the door. If the door is jammed, you can use a window breaker or other object to break the window.
2. Swim to the surface and away from the car. If you are unable to swim, you can use a flotation device or hold onto something that will keep you afloat.
3. Once you are safely out of the water, call for help. You can use a cell phone, whistle, or other signaling device to attract attention.
