The author was walking home when he witnessed the accident. One of the cars burst into flames and though they tried to help, the car eventually imploded before their eyes and a person lost their life in the blaze.

They shared the detailed incident to Reddit, saying “So I had a traumatizing experience and I just couldn’t bottle up….” this story is shocking, but it’s a sharp reminder to us all about how fleeting life can be.

“All is because a *fool decided he is in the formula one and his car lost control he hit this guy from the back and he survived … they pulled him out of his car and it wasn’t damaged so badly like the other. The one that hit the car from the back was a Lexus and the car that caught fire was a Maxima.”
