What to Do When a Vehicle Stalls Due to Road Flooding During Heavy Rain?
1 Answers
When encountering heavy rain or water submersion that causes the vehicle's engine to stall during driving, you should immediately abandon the car and move to higher ground. If the water flow is rapidly accumulating, decisively leave the vehicle to seek safety—personal safety is the top priority. Never hesitate to abandon the car. Generally, vehicles covered by commercial auto damage insurance can receive compensation. More relevant information is as follows: Starting the Engine: Never attempt to restart the engine after the vehicle stalls. Immediately, along with passengers, push the car out of the deep water. If you are alone and unable to move the vehicle, leave it submerged and wait for rescue. Note: The owner should open the car door before the water level rises completely and evacuate the danger zone as quickly as possible. Never wait inside the car for rescuers, as high water levels may cause electric windows and doors to lock automatically, making it impossible to open the doors and endangering personal safety.
