    This article explains some of the things emergency personnel need to do when working a hybrid vehicle accident. It wouldn't hurt for us all to know these things since you never know when you might be at the scene of a hybrid accident.

    Might as well also link to the 2004 Prius Emergency Resopnse Guide
    Even though it specifically says "2004" I'm sure a lot of it is still viable information for all Prii.
    I have a copy in my glovebox. I picture myself hanging upside down by my seatbelt handing it to the Emergency Response Team through the window.

    I was showing some engineers at work the engine system. One of them asked about high voltage and electrocution. I said, "uh yeah. See those bright orange insulated cables? Don't touch those." B)
