Safety tips from MedStar

MedStar is encouraging drivers to give themselves extra time as they hit the roads this week. They also shared tips on what people should do if they find themselves in a sinking vehicle.

MedStar says the first thing drivers should do is stay calm, call 911 and follow the dispatcher's instructions. 

If you are unable to call 911, MedStar says do not open your doors because it could cause the car to sink more quickly. Drivers should unbuckle their seatbelts and any passengers' seatbelts. 

People should also lower their windows so that all passengers can escape if needed. If the windows do not lower people should try to break them, MedStar said.
