What to do if your car is underwater

Leah Androski reporter3.riverbendnews@gmail.com If you ever find yourself underwater in a car, do not panic. Instead, here are some tips that could save your life: • Do not waste your energy trying to push the door open. • Do not open the window; the force of the water entering the car will not allow you to get out. • Take out the head restraint on the top of your seat; use the steel sharp tip and break the back window that has kick out glass on it. The car is designed and engineered to float in the water, and the rear window will always be facing the exit.
