VIDEO: A car went up in flames along I-82, Wednesday evening. It’s sparking a warning from state troopers. Firefighters were seen dousing the flames. The Toyota Camry became a total loss. State troopers say the driver noticed a strange noise coming from the engine, that's when she got out and called 911. Troopers say as we approach the summer season, people should be paying attention to their temperature gauges. They say if your car does overheat, you should pull over immediately, which is exactly what the woman driving this car did. The driver told Action News she’s unhurt and doing okay. Troopers advise people, if possible, to exit the freeway immediately rather than pulling over on the shoulder.
