Three teenagers were killed when their car skidded off the road in southern France, went through a wall and crashed upside down in a private pool, trapping them inside.

The vehicle was a similar size to the pool and the teenagers - aged 14, 15 and 19 - were unable to open the doors and drowned.

    Good to know. I thought windshields were designed to pop off in one piece which is why I thought it’d be a possibility.

      They very rarely do these days. Even less when under pressure (e.g. when the car is on it’s roof).

      I am a fairly big guy and never managed to do so.
