Six unnamed witnesses - all related to each other - saw Smith's 1992 Acura Legend veer off U.S. 72 around 12:45 a.m. Sunday. They said the interior of the car was on fire as the car drove across a ditch and hit a utility pole.

This is a little vague.....what did they see that isn't being told......how did they only see the car on fire going down the road and not the people who set the fire then put the car in gear with the accelarator depressed?.....this car did not travel far from the point of ignition....
