OMG! Thats a pretty major fire. How on earth did it happen to a reliable Toyota/Lexus? The occupants were real lucky it seems to have realised what was happening in time to escape.

On the expressway in January. Happened 3 minutes before I crossed it. The guys hit the spare wheel mount and dislodged the entire mounting !!! The occupants just walked out from the car without any injuries. The car was a complete wreck.

Yes the lump is a part of the engine. I dont remember well since it was taken in January.

Yes it hit the spare wheel mount of the truck in picture and it dislodged the complete assembly which is welded onto the chasis.

The occupants were slightly frightened and that was it. Everyone was as safe as they would be when the walked inside the car!

90 KMPH in the city is asking for trouble, drunk driving on top of that is perfect recipe for disaster. It would be impossible for front seat occupants to survive in such a terrible crash. What is the car model, looks like one of the tall boys. Whatever caused it, may their souls rest in peace.
