Gen 3 catches fire before tollbooth

In NJ before the NOPI Nationals a gen3 Camry caught fire at a tollbooth. Luckily I chose not to take that route to get to NOPI and I took a different one, getting me there on time. These pictures were not taken by me.

The driver is lucky it was before he paid the toll. Otherwise he would have paid for use of the toll road but not gotten to use it.

I see he has smoked windows.


Meh... I could fix that. If it doesn't burn past the firewall, it's salvageable!

Wow, that reminds me of a gen 3 camry on I83 north bound that was running of a spare, and the spare fell off while it was moving. It was on the front left.
