Three college softball players, who vanished Sunday night while at a North Dakota lake where they often went star-gazing, were found dead in their vehicle, which was pulled from a pond.
Police Lt. Rod Banyai said Tuesday night that police are "still investigating" the cause of the deaths.
Kyrstin Gemar, 22, of Grossmont, Calif.; Afton Williamson, 20, of Lake Elsinore, Calif.; and Ashley Neufeld, 21, of Brandon, Manitoba in Canada, all play softball for Dickinson State University in Dickinson, N.D.

Agreed.
I’m guessing the car had electric windows and they were too panicked to break them.

Strange the girls did not call 911 instead of calling their friends. They must have misjudged their situation.
The moon was 99% full that night (and gorgeous!!!) so it's not as if they were in total darkness.
Prayers for the families.

Calling as they were sinking?

Car windows are hard to break in those circumstances. And the doors will not open. People should keep a tool in their car to break the windows.

I’m guessing that their vehicle went off the road into a lake and became submerged. They called, frantic, and the cell signal penetrated the water initially as the car slowly sank. The girls didn’t know what to do and ultimately ran out of oxygen and asphyxiated.

A short screwdriver would be a handy tool to have for something like that.

They probably called the friend on speed dial.

I’ve never been submerged [thank God].
But I understand that kicking in the window does not help. Lowering it will not help, nor will opening the door.
This surprised the heck out of me when I heard it years ago.

A ResQMe tool is inexpensive, available on Amazon and elsewhere. What a sad end to this story.

Oh dear God. I’m so sorry for the families.

The Key Chain ..... is a great idea. Also what was said in a training class I went to is that if you can not break the window, wait until the car fills with water and then open the door. The pressure inside and outside will equalize and you will be able to open the door. Problem is that people panic, understandably.

I have one of these in each of my vehicles. It is my number one fear! I hate going over bridges with water. I dream of dying this way!

Just one more reason to NOT have electric windows.

Yep a little woodworking punch too. For that matter a good sized rock would work to break a window.
