| Description of the problem | While driving down i75 acrossing the zilwaukee bridge two guys in a pickup, later i call my angels, tried to get me to pull over. Naturally my instinct was no. When i wouldn't, the driver started inching over towards my car to make me stop. I pushed on the brakes and there was nothing to push. When i finally stopped one guy jumped out .. Pulled open my door and told me my car was on fire, pulling me out. By the time we ran towards their pickup, the car was completely engulfed in flames. I was lucky they were there or i wouldn't be here to write this. |
