A Nashville woman’s short drive home from work turned into a nightmare when her Jeep Grand Cherokee suddenly caught fire. Mary Caroline Minter was driving through light rain when the floor under the passenger seat started glowing red and burst into flames. The TikTok video she posted shows the burned-out vehicle and explains how she barely escaped.
According to Motor1, Minter said she first smelled burning rubber and thought it was related to a tire problem she’d had before. But when she looked closer, she saw flames coming from under the passenger seat. She reached over to lift the seat and check, which burned her hand and hoodie. She didn’t notice the burns until later because of the adrenaline rush.
