I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. MY JEEP HIT A POOL OF WATER ON THE SURFACE OF THE HIGHWAY AND STARTED TO SKID AND HYDROPLOANE. THE NEXT THING I KNEW IT WAS FLIPPING OVER AND LANDED ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS LUCKY TO BE WEARING MY SEAT BELT. I WAS SUSPENDED UPSIDE DOWN BY MY SEATBELT. I WAS ABLE TO UNBUCKLE IT AND CRAWL OUT THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WHICH WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN OUT. SECONDS AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE CAR IT BURST INTO FLAMES AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED AND BURNED COMPLETELY INSIDE AND OUT. THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT OF IT BUT BURNT FRAME. AS SOON AS THE CAR CAME TO A STOP UPSIDE DOWN, I SMELLED GAS AND JUST A MINUTE OR TWO LATER THE CAR WAS TOTALLY BURNED UP. *TR
