The vehicle ignited at the corner of Huyler Street and the highway in Teterboro, across from the airport, shortly before 4 p.m. Sept. 8.

Smoke billowed across the street, momentarily stopping traffic just as the Friday evening rush was about to heat up (no pun intended).

No injuries were reported.

Hasbrouck Heights firefighters extinguished the fully-involved blaze after power was cut to the wires. Little Ferry firefighters provided mutual aid.
