battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water.He took the only escape routethrough the boot. Mr Johnson’s car had ended up in a ditch () at Romney Marsin

Kent after he lost proper control on ice and hit a bank.“Fortunately

the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr Johnson said.“I couldn’t force the doors open because they were jammed against the wails of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”

Mr Johnsona sweet salesman of Sitting HomeKentfirst 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 the back seat to get into the boot.I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hearbut 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_gavebut as soon as I moved the boot lid

the water and mud poured in.I forced the lid down into the mud and climbed up clear as the car filled up.” His hands and arms cut and bruised

Mr Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby.Huddled in a blankethe 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.
