"while a driver was turning into a gas station"

 

The sidecar exploded while the rider was trying to perform a magic trick?

No civilized Nation would allow these sidecar death traps on the road, but this is Thailand.

It was actually the motorbike that caught fire not the sidecar.

 

Good thing it happened before he started fueling up.

Yes I was stuck behind one cussing the other day and his 3rd wheel, nothing more than a bicycle wheel, was wobbling all over the place looking ready to come off.... this was on a motorway slip road! Not roadworthy in the main.

Knowing the amount of idiots on the roads, would not surprise me if the clown riding it out his but in the gas tank thinking it a ash tray

Some guy prevented a real disaster by pushing the burning vehicle away from the pumps. Good on him, burned his arm though.

It was a young FEMALE staff member.

Well done to Staff for acting quickly, pushing the bike away from pumps then using an extinguisher. Give that young woman a bonus ! Employee of the month award.

Somewhere between what a bike costs and nothing, probably nothing.
