Narrative

Unfortunately I really have no idea what caused the problem . But While driving on the highway ( in traffic ) going approx 40 Mph . my vehicle had a low coolant light come on. Within 5 min of the light coming on the vehicle made a loud fast ticking like noise so I pulled off the road 1 half mile from my exit . Before I could even stop the vehicle fully . the cars hood had smoke and flames coming out . The flames got to at least 10 feet in the air … Within 15 min the front of the vehicle was burned to the ground . Police and fire arrived just under 15 min and were able to put the fire out . I have videos of the vehicle as I ran for safety . I had no none problems with this vehicle prior to this incident. The fire and police stated they have never seen a car like this go up in flames so fast as this one .
