On the way to work while driving on the expressway I saw a car that was crashed into a wall of an overpass.As I slowed down I saw someone in the drivers seat.I pulled over to see if I could help and there were a few others who were trying to help but the front of the car was crushed and the driver was trapped inside.Then something under the hood ignited and tall flames came from underneath, a tow truck arrived before emergency personnel but the operator did not have an extinguisher and just before a fire truck arrived the car just burst into flames and it was completely engulfed before they could do anything....It was a sight that I don't think I will get out of my mind for some time....

Go S. Vettel #1 rb8

Sorry for that I guess....Fatboy8 if you come across this thread maybe you heard something about it.
 
I really think he did,the car was a ball of fire before the firefighters were able to get out of their vehicle.The thing about thoughI never heard any screams which led me to suspect that he might have died on impact of the crash.
 
so awful...so sorry.. hope he was gone before the fire.
 
as bad as it was, at least he was already OUT.

:-(

sorry though.
 
To cope with tragedies have witnessed we use critical incident stress debriefing or for short CISM. Sometimes fellow firefighters can take incidents very hard such as calls involving family, children, and etc. CISM teams are requested by the department if needed and consoling can take up to days to months.

The fuel tank probably had a puncture in it and the fuel leaked towards the front of the car causing it to burst into flames. I also find it odd that the tow truck did not carry a fire extinguisher.
 
I drive a lot as part of my business everyday and witness quite a few accidents on the road that happened moments before and happened in front of me but never saw anything like that. That would be little traumatic to witness.
