Three teenagers were killed when their car skidded off the road in southern France, went through a wall and crashed upside down in a private pool, trapping them inside.
The vehicle was a similar size to the pool and the teenagers - aged 14, 15 and 19 - were unable to open the doors and drowned.
Wtf Does anyone have an idea on how to exit in such a situation?
There likely was no possible way for then to get out of the car. If they wanted to survive, their best bet would have been to not skid off a road and go through a fence.
Only thing I can think of while sitting comfortably at the keyboard and not in that car panicking is to kick out the windshield and hope you can swim under and out after the water rushes in. If the car is resting at the bottom and that’s blocked… no, I can’t think of one. I don’t imagine cars are very airtight, especially since they drowned, so there must not have been an air pocket for them to last a few hours.
Maybe through the front or back windshield, but given that the pool and car were of very similar size (diameter), I don’t think there was a way. They were dead the moment they hit the water. They just didn’t know it yet.
