It looked like a scene from a movie this weekend at a gas station in Kirkwood, Missouri.
Emergency crews responded to the Mobil gas station at about 8 p.m. Saturday after a luxury car caught fire.
Photos have gone viral across social media of the blue Lamborghini engulfed in flames.
A video also posted socially appears to show what may have led to the fire. In the video, a van at a nearby pump drives off with the gas nozzle still attached to the car, pulling the hose away and spraying gas onto the Lamborghini.

A Tesla wannabe?....................
I’ve seen a couple of videos on youtube of Lambo’s bursting into flames but in both cases the guy is putting high revs on the engine while sitting in neutral, showboating. This doesn’t seem like that.
“A Tesla wannabe?....................”
Almost 200,000 gas cars self-ignite in the US each year.
Usually you only see that in Fords and Teslas.
“This doesn’t seem like that.”
Really?
This was caused by another car.
.
“Usually you only see that in Fords and Teslas.”
Fake news alert!
This was a minivan pulling away from the gas pump and spraying gas over the Lambo at the next pump.
The breakaway shutoff on the hose might not have worked.
“Usually you only see that in Fords “
Only if you fall for that liberal scam.
Yep.
Saw one today. Everybody was trying to put it out with water.
KIA crossover SUV I think.
Fire Department took care of it. Nasty smell.
5.56mm
And presumably the engine on the lambo was HOT. Hot enough to ignite gas. Or something else.
ABC also falsly depicted Chevy S10’s as being “explosive”. The early days of FAKE NEWS.
I like the delayed explosion of the guy in the rear. Those Pintos were really dangerous.
Yep.
Also actual data showed that photo’s were safest car in class.
