A Connecticut teenager was walking down the street when he saw something that made his heart sink. A small SUV covered in flames drove past him -- he could see a little girl out the car window.

The Waterbury Police Department received multiple calls September 9, describing a woman trapped inside a burning vehicle, officials said in a Facebook post.

If you have children in the car chattering away and your driving and flames are coming from the undercarriage rear of a moving car its hard to spot right away. Been there done that, it started at the muffler.
