A woman escaped unscathed after her car was engulfed in flames following a dog unexpectedly crossing her path while she was driving home. The incident, which took place today in Buriram, saw the woman manage to flee her burning vehicle, a Ford Fiesta, which was completely damaged.

 

Aphinya Phantaprateeb, a detective from Mueang Buriram Police Station in Buriram province, last night received a report of a car fire. The incident happened on the Buriram-Nang Rong Road near the entrance to Nong Plad Chum Saeng village in Ban Bua district, Mueang Buri Ram. Firefighters from the Ban Bua Municipal Council were directed to the scene.

 

Upon arrival, they found the Ford Fiesta, registered in Buriram, ablaze. It took the officers approximately 20 minutes to bring the fire under control. The vehicle was almost destroyed, reported KhaoSod.

The vehicle was 'almost destroyed'... so one assumes not... unless, there was a glaring error in the report and the lady in question swerved to avoid the dog an hit something much harder !!... 

milli vanilli comes to mind. i literally just finished typing a comment about thai and responsibility and driving. these people are pathetic when it comes to excuses and driving. it's beyond laughable and shows a very deep rooted issue.

 

shocker.

You maybe barking up the wrong tree here...   the dog ran out in front of her, just a ruff day, although anything is pawsible, we are all fur-milliar with the rubbish excuses we encounter here, she could have been lying about the dog and simply hit a barrier (as usual the article is missing a lot of info)...

It is possible the dog went under the car and broke a fuel line, onto a hot exhaust/broke the exhaust pipe which intern made sparks.
