## Narrative
As a driver I was involved in frontal  collision with my Toyota Corolla  LE 2020 properly serviced. ([XXX]) .            Air bags were deployed followed by  smoky  air that made me   difficult to breathe.   I    opened  the windows, but I could not open the door to get out; it was locked. A passer -by   could not  open the door from the  outside either. He told me to move  gear shift to P; I did  that and he was able to open the door and I got out. There was on  loud automatic message  informing about collision….           Certain safety steps must be automatically activated after collision.             I  am very surprise to experience that the driver’s door  could not be opened after collision from inside or outside. I had to move  gear shift from D to P myself for the door to be opened. I  could not breathe  properly inside the car even with open windows with  air bags deployed.         The door should be automatically unlocked after the collision. Driver may be unconscious,  the car is in the fire or may be nobody to help the driver.  INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
