Wednesday morning, while driving along Osborne Ave., the cellular phone of a young woman exploded and burned a hole in her car seat.
Ms. Katelin Lee said she had made a stop at Osborne Ave. and 13th St., got out of her car and dropped the phone. It came apart. She picked up the pieces, and laid
the phone on the seat.
Ms. Lee said she continued
her drive when she noticed smoke and fire coming from the seat of her 2011 Kia Forte.
“I immediately pulled into someone’s driveway, jumped out and the phone blew up,” she said by phone. The resi- dents at that address and a passerby put the fire out with a water hose and stick.
