‘I was afraid it was going to explode so I yelled out “Get out of your car mate! It’s on fire!” and I saw a man get out of the car,’ he said. 

Mr Pearson was surprised to see a calm gentlemen exit his car.

The gentleman who was wearing sunglasses, a buttoned shirt and black pants, seemed unconcerned by the sound of the explosion and the flames that emerged from beneath the vehicle.
