WATCH: Middlesex County Man's 'New' Car Bursts Into Flames After He Pulls Over

A 2013 car with only 6,000 miles on it burst into flames just after the South Brunswick driver pulled over, police said.

He got out of his vehicle and looked under the hood to see flames coming from the engine, police said. Po he called 911.

When South Brunswick Police officers arrived, the vehicle was engulfed in flames. The Monmouth Junction Fire Department responded to the scene and extinguished the blaze. There were no injuries.
