Nice to see an ICE car fire getting some media attention for a change (www.bbc.co.uk)

I mean, being covered in gasoline that is on fire is generally not an easy thing to survive.

600 times a year. It happens so frequently, it's not news, like mass shootings.

That people were covered in gasoline? I don't think the stat says that.
