Large plumes of black smoke billowed into the summer sky Wednesday evening in north Richmond after a car exploded into flames.
The incident happened around 5 p.m. in Patterson Street, just south of Garden City Road and Sea Island Way.
One eye witness said he noticed a car racing away from the scene moments after he noticed the blaze, adding that there was a door open in the burning car, understood to be a Mercedes.
A video shot by Steve Dobres and posted on Faebook shows the full extent of the fire.
Police and fire crews were on the scene within a few minutes and it’s believed there were no injuries.
The Richmond News has reached out the RCMP and the fire department for more details.
