VIDEO: Are You Aware Your Vehicle Is On Fire?
On Wednesday in Lake Orion a police officer pulled over a man who had no idea the bottom part of its vehicle’s back hatch and rear bumper were on fire.
The officer got the man’s attention, pulled him over and rushed over to the red 2008 Saturn Vue to rescue the man from the burning car. The man was shocked when he was informed his car was on fire and had no idea as to what could have instigated it.
No one was hurt and the Oxford Township Fire arrived on the scene to extinguished the fire. They ruled the blaze accidental, citing the cause was “most likely the result of a portion of the exhaust system bent to cause contact with plastic portions of the vehicle.”
