I wouldn’t even call it a wild coicidence. Just something bound to happen eventually when you have thousands of random cars passing over a bridge everyday.
It didn’t suddenly explode. The car went over an embankment or something at high speed, crashed, and burst into flame. I don’t think there was any confirmation of an actual explosion.
Why it was traveling so fast in the first place has not been determined.
Every time something like this happens, people hear and see suspicious shit. During the MSU shooting there were constant reports of up to three armed militants and various buildings reporting new gunfire. Yes there was a shooter but just about every single eye witness report while it happened was utter bullshit. Even the ones with photographic “proof.”
Adrenaline fucks with peoples’ heads. Just something to keep in mind.
