“You can tell there was chaos here. It’s obvious,” spectator Jonathan Garza told ABC13 News. “The Charger, like the trunk, was popping fireworks left and right.”
At one point in the video, the Charger started to catch fire, with partygoers worrying that the fuel tank would ignite.
Hurara Hassan, the owner of the Dodge Charger, told ABC13 News he was thankful no one was injured during the chaos.

“I’ll go do the fireworks again,” he said. “But I’ll make sure the trunk is closed next time.”
