A South Carolina woman who was hoarding gasoline caught on fire Thursday after her vehicle crashed and burst into flames, The Pickens County Sheriff’s Office said.
Authorities said the accident occurred after a deputy attempted to stop a 2007 Pontiac G6 with a stolen license plate. “The driver of the Pontiac turned left onto Wolf Creek Road and accelerated the vehicle in an attempt to elude law enforcement,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. “The deputy then activated his vehicle’s siren.
Before the deputy could complete radio traffic with the Communications center, the driver of the Pontiac lost control of the vehicle leaving the roadway and completely flipping the vehicle.” Authorities said “multiple explosions” could be heard
