Louisiana School Run Takes Dramatic Turn as SUV Bursts Into Flames

A parent’s vehicle burst into flames during the school run in Duson, Louisiana, on March 6, though police said there were no injuries after “the quick thinking mother was able to evacuate her two children.”

Footage shared by the Duson Police Department shows the front of a small SUV engulfed in flames outside of Duson Elementary School.

Police said the mother was also able to move the car to an area in the parking lot away from buildings and other cars.

According to the post, the Duson Fire Department extinguished the fire and the vehicle was removed, at which point normal school operations resumed. Credit: Duson Police Department via Storyful
