A dramatic car fire erupted at a busy intersection in Iowa, as the driver narrowly escaped moments before flames engulfed the vehicle.
The Cedar Rapids Fire Department responded swiftly, dousing the raging fire within minutes using an on-board water line.
The chaos caused a 50-minute traffic delay before the car was towed away and the scene cleared.
The driver reported that the fire sparked after the ‘check engine’ light flashed, igniting a fiery explosion under the hood.
