Traffic cameras captured a dramatic incident Friday on northbound Interstate 95 in Pompano Beach, Florida, when a standard sedan suddenly burst into flames near Copans Road, temporarily shutting down all lanes. The fire broke out just after 1:30 p.m., prompting immediate traffic stoppages and a rapid response from firefighters.
Officials confirmed that the lone driver escaped unharmed seconds before the fire fully engulfed the vehicle, contradicting initial uncertainty about occupant safety. Video footage shows at least three vehicles driving through flames before traffic was halted, highlighting how quickly the blaze escalated on the busy highway.
Fire crews quickly extinguished the flames, ensuring that no injuries occurred. Authorities confirmed that the vehicle was a conventional gasoline-powered sedan, not an electric vehicle. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and officials have urged motorists to exercise caution near the scene as clean-up and lane reopening proceeded.
The incident caused temporary congestion and lane closures but ended without casualties, demonstrating both the speed of the emergency response and the importance of driver awareness in unexpected highway incidents.
