I suspect by the way you phrased the question you were mocking Athiests because they do not believe in God and therefore have no one to turn to in times of need. I'm sorry if I interpreted the question wrong, but I must say that when things get bad, I turn to reason and science for help. I evaluate the situation rationally and calmly take what seems to be the best course of action.
In the exact situation you described, I assume that the person would be trapped inside the car. If it was me I would probably be extremely terrified and may not be able to make the best decision. I would try to smash the windows with my shoe and escape that way. If that did not work, I admit that I do not know what I would do. In a situation of that kind, any religious person would probably pray to God to save them, and I deeply respect that inner connection those people feel with God. Again, I do not know what I would do and possibly if it were my final moments, I would regret not being more in touch with God in order to have some final peace.
I know that you made up this question on a purly hypothetical basis, however, I feel the need to state that the odds of that happening to someone is nearly zero. Yes, some people do meet horriable deaths that way, but the normal person will live to be quite old.

Darwin would ne as good as any, but having been in a situation where I thought I was about to die previously, I think that I would be calm and ready to accept my fate (that's what happened last time). The though't '****, it looks like this is it' ran through my head

The fire chief.
I can tell you one thing for sure, it isn't going to be Jesus, St. Peter, Mary, or any segment of the three headed god. None of them are going to put out the fire.
Let's say you are poor, in prison, gay, and your child is sick or some how unfortunate and it is 2 am. Who are you going to call? You would be stupid to call a haughty, self-righteous, condescending, greedy, bigot Christian like Jerry Fartwell or the new "gimmie money" preacher scum.
Do you suppose that everyone is going to grovel to the child murdering god at their death? How sick.

Ralph Nader? The AAA? Whoever designed the non-opening doors?

Atheists do not necessarily follow Darwin; the idea that an atheist would say "Oh, God!" is not because they acknowledge God but because His name is pretty much just another word for most people.

I would call out the name of the person in the car with me to make sure they were ok, then I would roll down the windows, and get us out.

the inventor of the hammer as I smash the windsheild--they make special ones for cars now, and they're a lot more likely to save your life than god
