Stay buckled inside with the doors closed unless there&rsquo;s smoke or fire. Call 911, not a tow company first. Tunnels have cameras and operators who can close lanes and send help. Exit only if the car is on fire or you can&rsquo;t be seen.</p> </blockquote> <h2 id="should-i-stay-in-my-car-or-get-out">Should I Stay in My Car or Get Out?</h2> <p>Stay in the car, belted in, unless you smell smoke, see flames, or the car is stopped in a lane where it could be hit before help arrives. In a tunnel, a stalled vehicle is hard to see until drivers are on top of it, and a person walking is far more vulnerable than a person in a steel cabin.</p>
