One person is dead, and two others were hospitalized after a car veered off I-95 and into a cemetery Sunday afternoon. According to Florida Highway Patrol, the driver crashed against a concrete barrier heading north on Interstate 95 near Sunrise Boulevard. The car caught fire after it crashed into a nearby cemetery, officials said. FHP says one person is dead and two others were rushed to Broward General Hospital. No information on the condition of the survivors.
A vehicle fire erupting after a car accident can be due to many reasons, including defective manufacture or design of the vehicle. Perhaps the car’s fuel-delivery system or gas tank are defective, leading to ruptures which spew gasoline where it can ignite via one spark. Occupants of a car which catches on fire can be seriously burned or even killed. They may survive the initial impact completely intact, but if they’re inside the vehicle and it’s engulfed in flames, they may not survive the car fire. The fact is, most cars carry much flammable fuel in their gas tanks.
On average, an American car or SUV holds a full tank of around a dozen to 20 gallons. And every gallon of gasoline, if ignited, packs the explosive punch of half a dozen sticks of dynamite. Do the math and you’ll find that a car whose 20-gallon tank is full when a car fire explodes has the power of 120 sticks of dynamite. A horrific car fire such as this shouldn’t occur, but it does via manufacturing or design defects which then lead to a catastrophic car fire. It’s often the car fire right after a crash that does the most damage. In the sad event that a person in your family or close to you had an injury or death in a car fire accident, let us help.
