THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN AND THE TOLL TRUCK BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE OWNER'S HOUSE. VEHICLE SAT FOR 13 HOURS. AFTER THAT THE VEHICLE HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE.

OWNER DID NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE WIRES BECAME HOT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF FOR 13 HOURS, ENOUGH TIME FOR VEHICLE TO COOL OFF. THIS IS THE THIRD NUMBER THAT OWNER GAVE TO CONTACT HER, THE NUMBER IS 734-485-5839. *AK
