Woman's Parked Car Goes Up in Flames Monday: Hinsdale Police

Police were dispatched to the 600 block of N. County Line Rd. Monday morning when they received a call about a car that had caught fire.

According to police reports, officers arrived on the scene at 11:43 a.m. to help the fire department, which was already onsite. The owner of the vehicle said she’d heard a loud bang in her car and then saw smoke. Her air bag was quickly discharged.

Police said the origin of the fire was the car’s fuse box, and that the heat from the blaze was what deployed the air bag.

There isn’t any suspected foul play, police said Wednesday.
