The police officer who broke the windshield asked the woman if anyone else was in the car.
“I don’t know,” said the woman while smoke can be seen coming out of her mouth.
The officer then continued to break up the windshield to search for any other passengers while the car became fully engulfed in flames. Police said no one else was found in the car.
The 22-year-old woman was taken to a local hospital, where she was treated for minor injuries.
