A Mercedes-Benz delivery van turned into a blazing inferno on a Virginia street, sending apocalyptic smoke clouds across the DC metro area
When Your Package Delivery Goes Very, Very Wrong
An Amazon delivery van just turned into a rolling bonfire in Arlington, Virginia, creating a smoke plume so massive it could be seen from miles away across Washington DC.
The black Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van decided to have the world’s worst breakdown on Clark Street S near 23rd Street South, going from “delivering packages” to “delivering terror” in spectacular fashion.
The Blaze That Stopped Traffic
What happened: Amazon van catches fire
What it looked like: The apocalypse arriving via Prime delivery
Smoke visibility: Clear across to DC’s northeast suburbs
Packages saved: All of them (thankfully)
Arlington Fire and EMS rushed to the scene to find what used to be a delivery van now resembling a rejected prop from a Michael Bay movie.
