I saw a guy on fire in the median of I-95 somewhere...


...in NC or SC when I was a kid. We were on our way to our summer family vacation spot, and passed a work crew that (I believe) was cutting grass in the median. Everyone gasped as we whizzed by a guy whose clothes were on fire, presumably from touching the hot engine of a mower or weed eater. Or perhaps he had been refueling and spilled gas on a hot engine. I'll never know.

I vaguely recall my dad considering trying to pull over and help, but traffic was heavy and there was just no safe way to pull off anywhere close to where the guys were working. Hopefully the guy's co-workers were able to help him quickly put the fire out.
