Consumer Description

ON MAY 14TH AT APPROXIMATELY 2:50PM, I WAS IN THE CAR FOR ROUGHLY THREE MINUTES GETTING ONTO 33 EAST IN MARYVILLE OHIO. I SMELLED SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR AND PULLED OVER TO SEE WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM. I OPENED THE HATCHBACK OF THE CAR AND SAW THE REAR FUSE PANEL IN THE HATCHBACK WAS MELTED OUT AND FLAMES POURED OUT OF THE OPENING. I CALLED 911 IMMEDIATELY. BY THE TIME POLICE AND FIRE ARRIVED THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND BURNED TO THE GROUND WITHIN 7 MINUTES. I AM AWAITING ON THE COMPLETED INVESTIGATION FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO VERIFY MY CLAIM AS THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE.
