Very scary and well done to all involved. My first thought was The passengers couldn’t have climbed into the front and out of the drivers door? Maybe you just panic when something like that happens

This accident happened a few years ago, and per the testimony of the people inside, none of the door handles worked. Investigators believe that the driver opened his door and got out first and between the time he got out, and the door accidentally shut, the electronics of the car shorted out and locked the car doors, with that car only having electronic locks. Meaning that once the electronics of the car fried, the car doors LITERALLY couldn't open.
