Saw passenger get out. Hope driver got out and no one else was in there.


ETA: just before College

I called 911.


Should I have slammed on my brakes at 10-12?

Had enough time to post.

Didn't have enough time to stop and help folks out of a burning vehicle.


What a world we live in today.

Don't worry about the people bleeding from the head injuries or that need immediate medical assistance. Your time is much too valuable to stop and check on these inconveniences.

I've seen this happen on I-10 at Acadian once. It's crazy how fast cars can catch on fire.

People rushing to Ruth's Chris since they started that new $25 per person salad, appetizer, entrée and dessert early bird special.

That's pretty crazy if you see something of that caliber happen in front of you and the first thought isn't render help.

No. Looked like they were smoking a blunt(I mean the smoke. Not actions). But then he Cut across four lanes to the shoulder. As I passed the flames erupted out the back seat.

Hard to say when the OP is light on details. If they were enflamed as they cut you off, then yeah, you should have pulled over.

If they were smoking and caught fire in your rear view mirror, I'm not sure what you're supposed to do.
