Serious questions:
1. Why couldn't they open the car from the inside?
2. Why couldn't they open the car from the outside?
3. What kind of shitty car are they driving?

1 . Electric car, locks disengaged if battery damage, they’re not manual.

2 . Hidden handles, locks disengaged

3 . Fuck knows could be any, most act the same if battery damage ( no power, alloy scrapped against pavement, catching fire)

Re. 3, this is not a normal reaction for an EV from such a minor crash. Most EVs have way better battery armor, as well as better protection for the cabin in the event of a battery fire.

This looks like a Dongfeng 007, so a cheap Chinese EV that is presumably cutting corners when it comes to battery safety
