Dude was transporting fireworks in the car. They caught on fire. For whatever reason. Doors locked automatically. As designed. The guy couldn’t find the hidden release lever. And so he burned to death.
He was also transporting cans of natural gas and other fuels. Who loads their truck to the brim with fireworks and anything that is highly explosive and then “accidentally” detonates it at the entrance of a hotel?
It’s a bit of a weird terrorist attack though. The whole thing about car bombs is that It’s supposed to be a portable bomb. The idea is you get out before setting it off.
Also what’s the point of blowing up the outside of one of his businesses, it wasn’t like he was in there.
So it doesn’t immediately feel like a terrorist attack.
Oh, the steel on that thing is just fiine! Give it a decent polish, slap some more poorly thought out tech in it, and you can roll out another death trap within a couple of weeks!
One dead, seven injured according to the BBC.
The person who died was inside the vehicle, not that this makes it any better if it was an accident.
how can it be an accident

Someone with bad decision making skills? Wanted to go out into the desert and light shit on fire maybe?
Why the fuck would doors lock automatically upon catching fire? That seems insane
You’re right, but it also doesn’t make it bad.
It’s so weird that they’re unsure whether to call it a terrorist attack:
it is not a terrorist attack because no rich people were hurt, obviously

Could be a form of self-immolation. If so, gotta give points for creativity.
Wellp! Time for another recall!
Can’t recall vehicles if all have exploded
