PONTIAC, Mich. – A Pontiac woman accidentally set herself on fire while using rubbing alcohol to torch her car because there were bed bugs inside, police said. Deputies with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office were called at 1:39 p.m. Tuesday to the 1200 block of Perry Street because of a car fire. Officials said a 31-year-old Pontiac woman who owned the car had a panic attack because there were bed bugs inside. She decided to kill the bed bugs by pouring rubbing alcohol inside the car and lighting it on fire, according to authorities. In the process of torching the car, the woman accidentally set herself on fire, police said. She suffered second-degree burns and was taken to McLaren Oakland Hospital for treatment, according to officials.
The Fire Department is investigating.
She was gonna drive to Florida!
I was going to ask if alcohol was involved . . .
So, did she kill the bedbugs?
Was this Pontiac woman driving a VW Bug by any chance?
No bedbugs were harmed in the making of this catastrophe.
My father was an Oldsmobile man.
But they don’t make Pontiacs anymore. She must be from Studebaker. So, she set fire to her Studebaker? That’ll leave a mark!
LMFAO!!!
Very good!
I’m a Chevy guy myself.
LMAO!!
I just posted another weird story.
Michigan can’t let Florida win!
In an attempt to protect any leftist lurkers from loss of life and limb I provide the following information:

She should have just filled the car with assassin bugs. They’ll eat bed bugs.
Wouldn’t parking a car in the summer sun raise the interior temp enough to kill bed bugs? Supposedly it only takes 125F.
If bed bugs were in her car, what was inside her house . . . oh, I don’t even want to think about it.
I hate when the bed bugs win.
The Bedbugs have to be in her house too. I don’t see a way out of that.
Then, firebug torches bedbugs in VW Bug.
Classic synchronicity.
However, it says she’s a Pontiac woman.
You got rats on the West Side, bedbugs Uptown!
