Did anyone else see the car on fire at around noon time on Friday? I drove past it and it was a pretty big fire but I can’t see to find any information on it, there’s no new story or anything

Carbeques on the highway are hardly newsworthy anymore.

What exactly do you want to know about it? Clearly, it wasn't anyone you know, or you'd have all the answers.

If the person/ppl in the car made it out in time and if they’re ok. Also what caused it bc it did y seem like an accident bc there was only 1 car

If they died, it would have made the news you're searching for.

Same that’s why I was so surprised it wasn’t on the new or anything. It literally looked like something out of a movie

There’s generally not much news to a car fire. 99% of the time, the driver and passengers get out. And if the car isn’t up against something, there’s really not a ton of risk for anyone involved if the fire department knows what they’re doing.
Unless someone gets video of it and submits it (they do look pretty bad), there’s really no point in a news site investing time and effort in writing a story. It’s a glorified 1-car accident with no injuries. There’s probably at least a dozen of those in the state each day. You don’t hear about them unless someone is seriously hurt or killed, or the news sites luck out and get a good video submitted from the public.
