While the City Police were investigating a property damage only accident
they smelled smoke. Well, what they didn’t know is a metal
sign post had gone under the car, bent 90 degrees, gone 3 feet into the
passenger compartment, hit a bolt on an electrical line and ignited the
batteries located in the rear of the car. Police stated as they
heard the sirens the car “flashed.” Units operated
for just under twenty minutes.
