In the U.S. alone, there are an estimated 400 people that drown each year in vehicles that become trapped under water.
While it may be hard to fathom how that can happen, it's easier than you might think. Just imagine that you're driving down the road and an animal suddenly darts out in front of your car. Instinctively, most people will swerve to avoid hitting it, and in the process, it's easy to lose control of the vehicle. If a body of water is nearby, that vehicle can suddenly end up in it, sinking and quickly filling up with water.
