Read on to find out how you can get out of a sinking car. Although this is not a common occurrence it is estimated that in the UK around 5 people die in a sinking car every year.

How to escape from a sinking car
There are various ways to escape from a car that has entered deep water and these depend purely on your individual circumstances. The main priority of course is to get out of the car which may need a great deal of strength and also the will to fight against possible cold water.

To keep calm switch on the interior lights and breathe deeply. The emergency services will also be able to locate the car more easily if the interior lights are on

Some studies have shown that it is best to shut the windows to stop the water rushing in. Other studies have shown that it takes too long for equalisation to occur (when the car is nearly full of water it may be possible to kick the doors open - this is only a last resort however). Your best option is to just try to get out of the car as soon as possible

The car will not sink immediately so use the time you have to get yourself and your passengers out as soon as possible. Make sure you get children out of the car first

If your windows jam try to break them with a hammer, steering lock or any other hard object, you could also try kicking the window as a last resort

Never try to save your belongings. You can replace material things but not you!
