The crash happened around 6:10 p.m.

Flames from where the car’s engine caught fire subsequently caused a brush fire on the side of the ramp. Several units from Montgomery County Fire and Rescue responded to extinguish the flames and clear the scene.

The driver of the crashed vehicle managed to get out on their own and was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
