## Narrative
As I was driving down the road,I started to see steam/smoke coming out of the enginge.  I went to pull over and lost my brakes. I ended up tapping the car in front me.  My car started to fill with smoke and then engulfed in flames.  By looking at the pics, it appears the fire started on the driver's side.  The car is a total loss.
