An assault on an 18-year-old biracial woman in Wisconsin is being investigated as a hate crime after she was set on fire in her car, according to the Madison Police Department.
The victim, Althea Bernstein, told authorities she was stopped at a red light Wednesday with her driver's side window down when she heard someone yell a racial slur. It was at that point that four white men allegedly sprayed a liquid on her face and neck and then threw a flaming lighter at her, which caused the liquid to ignite, according to the incident report.
Scared, Bernstein began to drive and patted out the flames, the report stated. She drove home, where her mother told her to go to the hospital.
At the hospital, she was treated for burns and will need to make follow-up visits for additional medical care, authorities said. Hospital staff, according to police, believe the liquid was lighter fluid.

Just a question of time before we learn she did it.
Fake
There is a chance this actually happened.

They seem to have taken a pass on the guy who claimed he was shot by the "KKK or the Proud Boys" in Seattle.
So the burns are on the passenger side of her face? And just happens the “burns” didn’t get her eyes, eyebrows or hair? Yeah. Ok
Did she do a Richard Pryor?
Tawana Brawley Part Deux. Call $harkton.
I’m calling hoax instantly.
All but the 15 they put on the noose hoax for a couple days are too busy on the Trump take-dowm.
It was White Supremacists, in league with Bigfoot.
The perps escaped in a sudden bright light of a tractor beam from a glowing orb space-craft hovering overhead.
I'm not going to wait. Fake.
If it actually happened. Someone has to TELL you to go to a hospital after you've been set on fire?
this story makes no sense
maybe a firefighter can weigh in
she should be more disfigured than that if she was driving with a face on fire
They move around, depending upon the photo(grapher).
Here’s another source with contradictory sides.
