Driver who used "excessive" amount of air freshener blows own car up by lighting cigarette



A driver blew up his car by lighting a cigarette moments after spraying too much air freshener, authorities have said.

Firefighters responded to the incident on Fountain Street in Halifax in West Yorkshire, U.K., shortly after 3.30 p.m. on Saturday.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said that the "dramatic" explosion is believed to have been caused by the excessive use of air freshener.

Alongside a picture of the damaged vehicle, the fire service wrote on Twitter: "Excessive use of an air freshener was the cause. When the driver lit a cigarette the outcome was dramatic."
