Consumer Description

WE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT OVER THE WEEKEND. WE WERE T-BONES BY A BUS. IT WRECKED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. HOWEVER, WHEN I WENT INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GET MY PURSE OUT I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. OUR F150 IS NOW BURNT TO A CRISP. THERE'S NO REASON FOR THAT TRUCK TO HAVE CAUGHT FIRE LIKE THAT.
