## Narrative
The Mazda 5 was in a minor collision.  The vehicle rear-ended another vehicle in stop-and-go traffic.  Both vehicles were in motion, approximate speed of the Mazda 5 was 15MPH or less.  The front seat airbags deployed.  The other vehicle had rear bumper damage but the Mazda 5 immediately had smoke and flames under the hood.  Thankfully, all four occupants immediately exited the vehicle to safety.  The Mazda 5 quickly burned completely.  Police and firefighters came to the scene and everyone agreed that the Mazda 5 fire was not commensurate with the extent of the collision and likely speed of impact.  I am concerned there was a major safety defect that caused it to be engulfed in flames.
