A man was arrested after an SUV explosion rocked a Federal Way neighborhood Tuesday night, according to police.
It happened around 6:00 p.m. along 4th Ave. SW, between SW 297th and SW 299th Streets, just off Dash Point Road. "It was louder than a shotgun, it was good and loud," said neighbor Tony Wilson.
He said he was inside his garage when he heard a loud blast.
"I thought a piece of my roof had blown off," he said. "I just thought it was the wind to begin with, you know a big gust of wind blow something, a few little pieces of my roof." Wilson said he went outside to find his sidewalk littered with pieces of the SUV and part of his yard were on fire.
"The pickup (truck) over there was pretty well destroyed, with pieces all over," said Wilson. "I quickly whipped out my camera. Then my neighbors were more active than me and came and got my hose to put out my yard fire."
