This was the start of an extremely traumatic experience for the woman. For some unknown reason, the vehicle�s central locking system activated. People ran to help but couldn�t get her out of the burning car and she was still trapped inside when the jerry cans exploded.
The force of the explosion was so great that the front windscreen landed on the roof of a nearby building and the back windscreen landed on the other side of the highway. The bitumen under the car melted.
