Reported on June 12, 1999
| I JUST EXITED THE HOLLYWOOD FREEWAY WHEN SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING THE 1991 ISUZU TROOPER CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND GET OUT.THE FIRE APPEARED TO BE UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK WITH GAS OR SOME OTHER LIQUID POURING OUT. THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE MELTED AND EXPLODED, THEN THERE WAS A SECOND EXPLOSION. ALL THE PARTS OF THE ENGINE, BATTERY ETC. WERE IN FLAMES. TWO FIRE TRUCKS AND POLICE CARS WERE DIPATCHED. IT WAS A VERY BIG BLAZE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. OUR INSURANCE COMPNAY CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE SINCE THE DAMAGE IS SO EXTENSIVE. PLEASE HELP. I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED. I'D LIKE TO WARN OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND CONTACT ISUZU. SO FAR, THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED MY PHONE CALLS. | |
