“Driving through the brooklyn battery tunnel heading into manhattan the blower motor in my car failed. I was driving in the tunnel when I turned on the heat in my car, then smoke began coming out of the air vents. I turned off the heat immediately. The smoke began filling the cabin, so I opened all of the windows in the car and opened the moonroof. I was able to make out of the tunnel and stopped at the exit of the tunnel in manhattan. I then turned the car off and took the key out of the ignition. …”
