On a Pennsylvania roadway, a huge piece of debris became wedged underneath a Tesla, which then caught fire.
WTAJ reports that a family traveling to Massachusetts to visit relatives pulled over on Interstate 80 when their Tesla Model S began to smoke.
Due to the Tesla’s lithium-ion battery, the Morris Township Volunteer Fire Department battled the intense flames and smoke for two hours.
The agency calculated that around 12,000 gallons of water were utilized to extinguish the vehicle’s blaze.
The family’s dog was also in the car, but he was able to escape unharmed.
The Tesla car was engulfed in flames before firefighters could extinguish it.
