Stay in your car if it's hit by power lines

Courtesy of Mr. Roadshow, here's what to do if you car is hit by power lines:
"Stay in your the vehicle, because its tires act as insulators. Jumping out will ground you and, if the wires are live, can electrocute you. A reporter at a news station in Los Angeles was severely injured in a similar situation about five years ago."
