Lexus Erupts In Flames On Neptune Avenue, Cass Place

A Lexus erupted in flames on the corner of Neptune Avenue and Cass Place this morning, prompting firefighters to rush to the scene.

The late-model Lexus RX350 became engulfed while making a right turn onto Cass Place, witnesses said.

Fire officials told us the blaze was called in 10:19am and put out by 10:55am.

Tipsters Stefan Levine and Giorgi Mchedlishvili sent us these dramatic photos:

There were no reported injuries and Mchedlishvili said he saw an “older”-looking man he believed to be the driver speaking to police.

“I was standing outside and heard a loud bang and black smoke. I walked towards it and saw two fire trucks, two police cars, but no ambulance,” Mchedlishvili said.

The totaled car was towed away by Ridge Towing.

Mchedlishvili sent us this footage of the blaze:
