Car Blows Up At Three Fountains Apartments

A friend of mine that lives at the Three Fountains Apartments in Amarillo put this picture up on Facebook last night.  Apparently, there was a car that just exploded and there is no good reason as to why.  To add to the insanity, there was a man in the car when it exploded!  No injuries were reported, but the explosion shook the foundation of the apartments and left the residents in total shock!

Amarillo Globe News:

"Authorities said they are investigating the cause of a vehicle explosion at a southwest Amarillo apartment complex that rocked the neighborhood, but didn’t cause any injuries.

Amarillo Fire Department Capt. Jacob Oehlert said no injuries were reported Tuesday night after the incident at The Granite at Olsen Park, 3318 S. Western St.

Oehlert said no details were available on the cause of the explosion, located in an interior parking lot between Western and Eddy streets.

Beth Weldon said she lives at The Granite and spoke to a man who said he was in the car when it exploded.

“He was really shaken up,” Weldon said. “I went up to him after the police were done talking to him and asked him if he needed anything.”

Weldon said she called 911 and ran down to find out what happened after the blast shook the apartment where she, her fiance and children live.

“All the pictures in my apartment are crooked,” Weldon said. “I seriously thought my windows were going to shatter.”
