A woman in her twenties was rescued from the flames by a passing motorist who intervened. She was subsequently transported to a hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Eyewitness accounts indicate that several motorists attempted to assist by breaking the car’s windows to reach those trapped inside.Toronto Fire Deputy Chief Jim Jessop noted that extinguishing a fire in an electric vehicle requires an “exponential” amount of water. After the fire was extinguished, the vehicle’s battery cell was disposed of in a dumpster filled with sand and taken to a dump yard. In a separate incident earlier this year, three students from Punjab died in Canada when their vehicle veered off a highway, resulting in their ejection from the car and fatal injuries. The driver sustained serious injuries in that accident.
