Quote: "Police are investigating the death of a woman who was found on fire on a street in Rye on Monday morning. A passer-by discovered the person near the intersection of Peter and Betty St and extinguished the flames. Emergency services were called to the scene about 7.20 am."

Quote: "While police are still working through the exact circumstances, at this time the death in Rye is being treated as non-suspicious..."

Note: Here's a Google Maps link of the area. A woman just burned to death at the Altona Beach Esplanade in coastal Melbourne (Australia) too, mentioned in the 2016-07-11 update, nothing suspicious about that either. Well, hopefully people won't mind burning to death unsuspiciously, because that's obviously becoming more common. Also, looks like women may be in somewhat more danger of bursting into flame and burning to death than men because of the obvious reason: clothes are becoming contaminated and women wear more clothes than men...

2016-07-23 - SUV bursts into flame then hits tree, on Dixie Avenue in Chambersburg (Pennsylvania), 1 injured:
http://www.your4state.com/news/pennsylvania/one-man-airlifted-after-surviving-a-vehicle-fire-in-chambersburg
http://www.publicopiniononline.com/story/news/local/2016/07/22/man-flown-dc-hospital-after-suv-explodes/87445148/
http://www.therecordherald.com/article/20160724/NEWS/160729931

Quote: "A Chambersburg man was airlifted for his injuries after his car caught on fire multiple times. According to Pennsylvania State Police, 48-year old David Pohluhar was driving on Dixie Avenue when his car lit up in flames, immediately causing him to hit a tree. Pohluhar then got out of the car moments before it burst into flames again. After the second explosion, police say the car began to roll uncontrollably and eventually hit a mailbox and a trailered boat before coming to a final stop, when the vehicle slammed into a tree."

Note: They've found a lot of dead people in burning cars that have hit trees. The same thing has probably happened in many of those cases, though they're recorded as vehicle accidents because once responders show up and and see a car on fire that's hit a tree, the assumption they make is that the impact is what started the fire when in some cases it's the other way around, and the car igniting is what caused the crash, like in this case. But since all the witnesses are usually dead, nobody's around to say what really happened...

The work vehicle apparently caught fire, Droppert said, and then spread to multiple mobile homes."
