The Associated Press reported that an emergency responder tried to break a window to extract Awan from the burning car, but was unsuccessful. A self-proclaimed witness to the event told WPLG news that the doors couldn”t be opened and that the driver was trapped by the airbags, but her account has yet to be corroborated by officials.
