For the second time in nearly a week, a Florida driver watched their car go up in flames – all thanks to a Samsung cell phone.
Crews responded to the scene Tuesday night in Port St. Lucie according to NBC affiliate WPTV, where a man says his Galaxy Note 7 phone exploded and set his entire car on fire. He wasn’t hurt, but the car was completely engulfed in flames.
Rescue crews have not confirmed if the fire was caused by an exploding phone, but a man in the Tampa Bay area experienced a similar incident when his car caught fire while his Samsung device was charging inside.
The Galaxy Note 7’s have been recalled in the past weeks because it was found that their batteries have to chance to explode and catch fire.
