Collision with electrical network requires attention before leaving the vehicle

You are in your car when there is a problem with the electrical network and a cable falls on top of it. What to do? First of all: if the cable falls, do not get out of the car, because it may be energized.

And if you open the door to get out, when you touch your feet on the ground, you will be the electrical conductor of the network to the asphalt. And if it’s a medium or high voltage network, your body will be the conductor of a current, maybe thousands of volts, and you’ll be electrocuted.

But if you have a fire in your car, try to jump out of it with both feet. What you should avoid at all costs is having one foot or one hand in some part of the car and the other foot on the ground, because then you will be the conductor of the electric current.
