February 18, 2005Tossed cigarette ignites SUV
No ifs, ands or butts about it, Jonathan Fish learned an expensive lesson today about the dangers of littering. The 20-year-old San Francisco resident was rolling across the upper deck of the Bay Bridge at 10:40 a.m., smoking a cigarette. When he got to Harrison Street, he rolled down the window of his white 2004 Ford Expedition SUV and tossed out the butt. Instead of bounding along the pavement, however, the still-lit cigarette blew back in and set the interior of his $30,000 SUV ablaze. Black smoke filled the vehicle. Fish pulled over to the far left-hand lane about 100 feet from the Harrison Street exit and leaped from the Expedition, but instead of putting the SUV in park, he left it in neutral. The flaming Expedition rolled driverless into a guard rail by the exit, where it crashed to a stop and burned to the frame. Comments
