A Temple University Police car became engulfed in flames at a North Philly gas station Monday afternoon, 6ABC reports.
A witness told the news station that the incident occurred when one police vehicle pulled away from the BP Station near Broad Street and Girard Avenue with a gas nozzle still attached, pulling the pump over and setting a second police car on fire.
