Mr.
Peter
Johnson,
aged
twenty-three,
battled
for
half
an
hour
to
escape
from
his
trapped
car
yesterday
when
it
landed
upside
down
in
three
feet
of
water.
Mr.
Johnson
took
the
only
escape
route
—
through the
boot(
行李箱
).
Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a
ditch(
沟渠
) at Romney Marsin,
Kent after skidding on ice
and hitting
a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in
only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t
force
the
doors
because
they
were
jammed
against
the
walls
of
the
ditch
and
dared
not
open
the
windows because I knew
water would come
flooding
in
.”
Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of
Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the
attention of other
motorists by
sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and
boot. Then he began his struggle to
escape.
Later he
said, “It was
really a half penny that
saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my
pocket
and I used it to
unscrew
（旋开）
the
back seat to get into the boot. I hammered
desperately with a
hammer trying to
make someone hear, but no help came.”
It took ten minutes to unscrew the
seat, and a further five minutes to clear the
sweet samples from
the boot. Then Mr.
Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the
boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed
by.
“It was the only chance I had.
Finally
it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the
water and
mud poured in. I forced the
lid down into the mud and
scrambled
（爬行）
clear as the car filled up.”
His hands and arms cut and
bruised(
擦伤
), Mr. Johnson got
to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was
looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs.
Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That
thirty minutes
seemed like hours.”
Only
the tips of the car wheels were
visible, police said last night. The vehicle had
sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom
of the ditch.
