The fact that 5 people escaped a vehicle fire with only minor injuries is not something we should cheer. It is only a matter of time when such an incident with become a future tragedy. The above photo taken by Spencer Taylor shows how a fire engulfed both vehicles after they collided at the intersection of Ron McNeil Line and Highbury Avenue just north east of St Thomas, Ontario this morning. The fact that all persons involved sustained only minor injuries indicates that the collision severity was not so great that a fire should have been inevitable. Therefore why did the fire occur? This is not something that police should take lightly. Transport Canada should be notified and a further investigation should be carried out before another fire results in more serious consequences.
