He Explained How He Managed To Escape The Submerged Car
Following his post, several users wondered how he managed to get out of the vehicle.
One user asked whether the water filling the car made opening its door easier.
The driver explained that his windshield had already shattered, which may have helped him escape. Although the door was initially difficult to open, he eventually managed to get it open.
Other Users Were Just Glad He Survived
While some users were curious about how he escaped, others were simply relieved that he made it out alive.
Several users expressed their relief and wished him well following the frightening experience.
After all, a damaged car can be replaced, but his safety was what mattered most.
Others Felt Sorry For His Newly Purchased Car
Beyond his lucky escape, some users also expressed sympathy over the condition of his car.
One user pointed out that he had previously shared a post about recently purchasing a Daihatsu Copen. The unfortunate accident was especially heartbreaking, considering how recently he had gotten the car.
Thankfully, despite the frightening ordeal, the driver managed to escape and live to tell the story. Sometimes, even an unexpected anime memory can come to mind at the most crucial moment.
