Sounds like this investigation is not going swimmingly.

I'd like to think that I could get out of a sinking car if I had to. The main obstacle would be panic.

Wonder if an Optometrist could be a coroner?

Yes. Also, the fact that your windows will be impossible to open.

Accident pro tip: drive with a crack in your window to make the door easier to open

I feel bad for those who died because I have to believe that they didn't intend this result. It must be more difficult than it seems.

Drive with a crack in the window to make it easier to kick out.
It won't do anything for the door until the water fills up the car. Which will happen whether or not there's a crack in the window.
Tip: Don't suck at driving.

This happens often in that area.

Mythbusters did an entire show on this. What was interesting was that despite the ultra controlled circumstances of doing it in a pool, clear water, daytime, safety diver in the car and a scuba tank next to the guy he still freaked out. Panic would absolutely be the biggest obstacle.

Sounds like they were in deep shite

Think like a detective in the movies. They may have already been dead going in!
