Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO ALLOW A VEHICLE WITH A BLOW OUT TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I STARTED TO ACCELERATE, LOOKED AT THE CAR WITH THE BLOW OUT AND APPARENTLY A TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME FELT THE SAME WAY BECAUSE WHEN I LOOKED UP HE HAD COME TO A STOP AND I COULDN'T STOP BEFORE HITTING HIM. I WAS GOING 15 MPH. MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I DIDN'T EVEN SCRATCH THE OTHER VEHICLE BUT WITHIN SECONDS A FIRE STARTED COMING OUT WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE, IN A MATTER OF MINUTES MY CAR WAS ENGULED. THE FRONT OF MY CAR HAD LITTLE DAMAGE BUT THE FIRE ENGULFED THE REST. *AK
