A flat tire sparked a fire that engulfed a moving minivan in Wisconsin on Tuesday night and left a trail of flames as officers raced to pull the driver to safety, authorities said.
Officers spotted the minivan just after 9 p.m. driving with a flat tire, the Kenosha Police Department said. After seeing sparks flying from the tire, officers tried to pull the vehicle over.
Despite their efforts, the minivan’s 84-year-old driver did not stop, police said.
The sparks then ignited a fire that quickly began to consume the minivan, officers’ dashcam video shows.
