I was at the gas station putting gas to my car when i noticed flames coming from the engine then i told the people around the staff od the gas station shut off all the gas pumps and help me to tryied to use extinguishers toend the fire until the fire departnen people came. i do not realy know what hapoened but iwas having some electrical problems and was smoking when we were driving the car. we thought need antifreeze liquid and put it but still running weird.
I fully stopped in a parking place where i use to go every monday to pick up kids from a dancing school. after i fully stopped and try to put the clutch on p the car accelerated by itself. i went trough a building and as i tried to control the car i was trying to put in p and i was not able. i kept my foot on the brake and tried to stabilize the car..eventually the car ended in a ditch and i was able to exit immediately. the air begs opened only after i exit the car. i was in complete shock and i was taken to a local hospital by the rescue squad. i asked my insurance to keep the completely damaged car to be inspected by lincoln inspectors since the car had 2 problems 1. accelerated when fully stopped 2 air begs did not open during the crash with the building my insurance chubb wrote to lincoln company but until today no one responded or inspected the damaged car. i was lucky the kids were still in class, i could have heard many of them if i would have been a few minutes later. i request an investigation of the car sincerely *tr
