Although it doesn't say it in the news report, this was a 90'* Bonneville.

Makes one wonder if perhaps an exploding intake caused the crash. :?:

Dang...no matter how safe the cockpit of the car is during a crash...it can't protect you from a fire. That is really sad.

It'* more likely to occur at start-up, but can at anytime a backfire may occur. At that time of morning, it would not be unusual for the driver to be under the influence, and there are a few bars in the area. They report on the news said that speed was apparently not a factor, however there were several severe cracks in the cement pillar. Regardless of what the movies show, cars do not normally catch fire during an accident. Sadder yet...she was 27.
Wow...such a shame. Would not have wanted to see that.
