At a well-known tourist destination, a 4WD caught fire and an Australian family managed to escape before it rolled down the road in a huge blaze, horrifying bystanders. On Wednesday, the five-person family’s car broke down as they were mounting a mountainous road in Queenstown, New Zealand, on their way to the Remarkables ski areas. The vehicle is seen leaving a smoke trail in its aftermath as it crashes into a hillside and climbs a grassy verge. Prior to the truck crossing the road and coming to a halt at a guard rail, additional grass on the slope caught fire. The family may have previously resided in Queenstown and had borrowed a friend’s vehicle to go to the ski resorts.
