Car on fire DVP Toronto - Picks

[Pyr8]

At approximately 11:18pm on Tuesday May 19th 2009, Toronto Fire rescue crews arrived on scene to a car ablaze on the right shoulder of the southbound lanes of the Don Valley Parkway several meters south of the 401 off ramps, completely shutting down all Southbound traffic along the highway for several kilometers. Apparently the back of the car had caught fire while driving Westbound on the 401. Pieces of burning debris could be seen scattered along the westbound lanes of the 401 as far back as Kennedy Road creating potentially dangerous driving conditions for motorists. It is unknown whether there were any injuries involved in the incident (didn't have my scanner with me...just my camera!

That is for Highway Patrol (DVP/Gardiner/Allen) and it is the Sergeant's car.

I've noticed lots of tows are getting those HID headlights installed.. the aftermarket ones are not really made for the normal headlight reflectors- as the reflectors are not made to reflect HID light properly, hence the "blinding effect"

Maybe I should get some HID lights for my car...

Pyr8,

In the North York Mirror (Fri May 22), it shows a trailer in flames being towed by an suv, which was not on fire. The article description is the same as yours.
