If a power line falls on your vehicle, your top priority is safety.

• Stay inside your vehicle! The vehicle acts as a protective cage (a "Faraday cage"), and the ground around the car may be energized.

• Warn others to stay away. Honk your horn and roll down a window to shout to any bystanders to keep a safe distance of at least 10 meters (33 feet).

• Call for help. Immediately call emergency services and the local utility company.

• Only exit in an absolute emergency. If the vehicle is on fire, you must jump clear of the vehicle, landing with your feet together, and shuffle away without lifting your feet. This is a crucial safety technique to avoid becoming a path for electricity.
