Hubby got really really lucky on thursday
he was driving or rather sitting at 31 and 56 at the stop light
waiting for the light to turn green.. just as he was turning left onto 56
he smelled something but right there is a BBQ place and right after
that Burgerking.. he didn’t think anything of it.. right after he passed Burgerking
he seen the first smoke come up from the steering column,..,
He drove about 50 feet more to an old empty Taco Bell parking lot pulled in
grabbed his cell and jumped out as flames where starting to shoot up from underneath
the dash… Woman pulled in behind him and told him truck had been on fire since stoplight
flames where underneath it since then and that’s why she was Honking at him…
Well he heard the honking but paid no attention since we or rather he knows only a handfull of peeps here…..But she had called fire dept already .someone else pulled in and used their fire extinguisher to try and keep the flames at bay,, a small business right next to the lot someone came running from there with the extinguisher and a nurse on her way home or to work
stopped and checked if he was ok.. He was amazed at people helping and not just watching
if this had happened in Houston most peeps would have just kept on going..
He is truly ok though and now just waiting to hear on insurance.. He told insurance he would be interested to know what happened since truck was fine and all gauges showed normal..
We have had no issues with it,.,.,,
anyhow a guardian angel he had that day……
