MELBOURNE, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida man has been cooling down in jail over the weekend after driving a flaming car down U.S. 192, the Brevard County Sheriff said.

Deputies first responded to the scene at around 6:20 p.m. on Friday after getting reports that a sedan traveling down the road was putting off heavy smoke before becoming engulfed in flames.

When he arrived, the responding deputy said he saw a 75-foot stretch of land that was freshly charred, with some parts still on fire.

Brevard County Fire Rescue was also on scene fighting the vehicle fire, but the flames had already sparked a wildfire that rapidly spread hundreds of feet down the road. ................(more)

3. Strange enough, I remember a dude was driving fast on I75 ..'bout 5 years ago.

His gas tank had a leak (He didn't know what was going on) caught fire... .so he drove 100 mph ..trying to "Blow it out"
The Cops were not amused !
