Zapping car news Toyota Yaris Cross (2021): our video test
A collision in the middle of an intersection, we’re not going to say it’s commonplace, but to be honest, it’s never a surprise. So there was nothing more maddening than usual when the yellow van was hit by a car going at full speed.
Only here, a few moments after the shock, the famous van will catch fire. But not a small wood fire like you might imagine.
Oh no, this collision will release a huge flame. The latter is as sudden as it is imposing and yet the vehicle does not explode.
We do not really know why such a fire broke out or how it did not explode the van. And finally, let’s stop for a few seconds on the witnesses of the scene. Because yes, other motorists were present at the time of the facts and none of them will panic.
Everyone will leave their car calmly, without any movement of panic. This is when the video cuts. So we’ll probably never know whether or not the firefighters arrived on time.
Fire !
In the collision, the van’s gas tank was likely hit. It is for this reason that the explosion we have just witnessed was so sudden and so impressive at the same time. And you, how would you have reacted?
