Car
catches fire on Sisters highway
 |
|
The
occupants got out before the fire destroyed their car in a freakish
accident in Sisters.
|
A pair of students heading over
the Cascades to Western Baptist College in Salem escaped injury on Monday,
November 26, when their Jeep Cherokee caught fire and burned to the wheel
rims on Highway 20 in Sisters.
According to Deschutes County
Sheriff's Office reports, the axle on the Jeep Cherokee apparently broke
and punctured the gas tank. A spark ignited the spilled gasoline, causing
the vehicle to burst into flames.
The driver and passenger were
able to pull over to the shoulder in front of Ponderosa Lodge and escape
the vehicle without injury.
The vehicle and everything
in it, however, was consumed in the flames that raged until a Sisters
fire crew arrived to douse the fire.
