Car Fire on 495
This morning I was driving to work when I saw the damndest thing. A car fire on 495. There was a jeep that was completely engulfed in flames in the middle of the highway. I drove right by it and it was pretty scary.
I was almost late to work and it kind of set the day off in a wrong way.
But, I hope that everyone in the car got out okay. I tried to call 911, but it was busy. I broke a lot of rules on the way to work because I was trying to make it in time, I just made it and then spent an hour looking for parking.
