Commentary on Car Fire Accident on Church Street in Lufkin
It's not often one sees a sudden electrical fire send a whole car up in flames. It's just not that common. But it would be irresponsible not to investigate that possibility thoroughly. If it's true there were issues with the vehicle, it could be there was some kind of manufacturing defect that needs to be addressed. Not only could that be of significant help to the victims involved, it could also help protect others from suffering even worse fates. In my experience, authorities don't usually have the proper tools and experience for something so unusual, so more thorough independent investigations may be necessary here.
