Officers responded and found a vehicle fully engulfed. Gray said a good Samaritan pulled a few passengers out of the vehicle .
Gray also said few occupants fled from the scene from both vehicles “and try to determine exactly what we have.”

Gray said multiple victims were taken to a local hospital and their condition is unknown.
A witness told The Bee he got a fire extinguisher and tried to stop the flames.
“There’s a lot of video evidence we got to collect,” Gray said. “Talk to this business as well, as other folks that were in and around the area.”
