A woman in Gushi County was salvaged after driving into the water for 6 days. How to avoid similar accidents?

2021April 13, a car floated on the water on a dam in Gushi County, Xinyang, Henan Province. Thanks to the concerted efforts of all people, Qi Xin, the car that fell into the water was finally towed ashore, and a woman was found in the car, which was lifeless. After the incident, his family rushed to the scene and learned that the woman in the car was killed by driving into the water. It turned out that the woman had been missing for six days, and her family always thought that the woman was missing for no reason and called the police to say she was missing. Until now, she knew that the woman died because she drove into the water.

Obviously, the woman failed to escape in time after driving into the water, and the water choked to death after entering the car. Generally speaking, after the vehicle falls into the water, the vehicle will be short-circuited, and the water pressure inside and outside the vehicle will cause the door to fail to open. After falling into the water, the water will quickly enter the car along the gap in the door. If you can't escape within 1 minute, it's doomed. With more and more cars entering the homes of ordinary people, there is an increasing trend of traffic accidents that cause death by driving into the water. So, in this case, how should we avoid similar accidents?

1. Obey traffic laws and travel safely! Obeying traffic rules is a necessary prerequisite for safe travel, so both novice drivers and old drivers with decades of driving experience are a prerequisite for safety.

2. Safety awareness when passing through ponds and lakes. If we have to pass through a pond or lake when driving, we should slow down when conditions permit, keep a clear head at all times, carefully observe the road conditions, make accurate predictions, and ensure a smooth passage under safe conditions.

3. A safety hammer can be prepared in the car. Generally speaking, driving into the water is still relatively rare, but because it is a narrow escape after driving into the water, the possibility of survival is not great, so although the probability of this happening is not great, we should consider the situation just in case, so as to be prepared. You can prepare a safety hammer in the car in advance. In case you accidentally fall into the water while driving, you can quickly break the glass with a safety hammer to escape.

If you accidentally fall into the water while driving and don't prepare a safety hammer, you should open the doors and windows at the first time and try to escape. If the door can't be opened, look for sharp tools in the car and knock on the four corners of the window to escape. If the above two methods are not feasible, then prepare to judge the time when the water pressure inside and outside the car is equal, and you can open the door and escape smoothly.

If the woman can learn more about self-help when driving into the water, or prepare a safety life-saving hammer in the car, then this tragedy can be completely avoided. But the tragedy has happened, and we can only use it to warn future generations, learn from it and prepare for the future!
