I think the 3 things i found scientific was the pyroclastic flow because your right about when you said you cant outrun it because it goes so fast.Secondly is that the pahoehoe is a slow moving lava. Lastly is that when an volcano is about to erupt, the ground shakes. 3 things that wasn't accurate was when the car was in the water and it was still working. Secondly is that someone trapped in a car for two days with a broken arm and bone sticking out won't get infected then the person dies.Lastly the car went through the lava and the whole car caught on fire but didn't explode.

The oldest rock in the picture is 4 because it is at the very bottom so the principle of superpostion makes it the oldest rock out of all the others.
