Terrifying moment firefighters rescue a claustrophobic man after he gets TRAPPED inside his electric Corvette when the power doors stop working

A TikTok video showed the scary moment firefighters had to rescue a man trapped in his Corvette when the vehicle’s electric doors stopped working.

The video, posted by user ‘BigBroQuan95’, shows the claustrophobic man sweating in the Florida heat on a summer day as emergency workers surround the car.

The man, who says in the video that he is having “an anxiety attack,” begs firefighters to break the window, saying he doesn’t care about the cost.

‘Break the window. Y’all sitting here trying to jump the fuck over, get me out of this motherfucker,” the man says, laughing nervously as sweat drips down his face.

In 2015, a man and his dog died in Texas after his electric Corvette stopped working and they became trapped inside. His family later filed a lawsuit against GM.

The terrifying video begins with the man – who was sitting at a gas station when his car ‘went dead’ – showing the vehicle and firefighters outside.

Quan – wearing a shirt embossed with the words “determination over negativity” – says firefighters worked to jump the car as temperatures soared.

“I’m sweating,” he says. ‘It’s hot, about 40 degrees outside. I can’t get out.’

He goes on to say that he even feared he was “about to die” before the fire brigade arrived to assist in his rescue.

Throughout the 90-second video, the man reiterates that he is not concerned about the cost of repairs to the expensive, luxury vehicle.

“Break the window,” he shouts at the rescuers as they examine the car for alternative ways to save him.

“I’ll pay for the damn damage,” Quan shouts before giving a firefighter the thumbs up to break the glass.

A firefighter eventually gets to the passenger side window and smashes it with a long and heavy object, instantly shattering the glass.

The first responder must then pry the glass from the car window while small pieces of the window fall onto the seat next to the driver.

“Get me out of this motherfucker,” he says, laughing after the glass shatters.

The minute and a half video eventually ends with Quan showing his sweaty forehead and face and laughing away the stress.

In a follow-up to TikTok, the Corvette owner explained that the car’s door handles are electric and require power to exit the vehicle.

He told his 17,000 followers that despite “panicking” and “hyperventilating,” he had to calm himself down and call the police.

Quan also said he was banging on windows while trying to help people around him at the gas station, struggling inside the vehicle.

In total, Quan’s original video has been liked more than 500,000 times and viewed more than five million times as of Monday afternoon.

Additionally, nearly 12,000 comments were left on the clip, with the general consensus being that the experience would have scared anyone.

“The way my claustrophobia is built up, I would have kicked that window like I was in a self-defense class!”

“The way my claustrophobia is built up, I would have kicked that window like I was in a self-defense class!”

‘I have a window breaking device in every car I drive because I’m afraid of being stuck in a car that’s flooded. Everyone should have one.”

“The way Chevy would hear from my lawyer, whatever!!”

Shockingly, this isn’t the first time someone has been stuck in their Corvette when the vehicle’s electrical system fails.

In 2015, James Rogers, 72, of Texas, died with his dog in his “dream car” after a loose cable prevented him from getting out of the car.

Rogers was trapped when temperatures reached 32 degrees Celsius and police investigators found footprints around the car indicating he had tried to break out.

The grandfather left his phone at the restaurant he was at and because his car battery wasn’t working, he couldn’t honk for help.

Rogers and his dog Leia were pronounced dead. Authorities believe heat exhaustion was the cause of death.

The elderly man’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against General Motors Corporation in 2016.

Lawyers for Rogers’ children claimed the Corvette was defectively built and failed to properly clarify that there is a manual override to get out when the battery dies.

It is unclear whether the lawsuit was ever resolved between the company and the family.
