A KIA caught fire and burned on the eastbound Highway 24 overpass to Mount Diablo Road just before 10 p.m. Wednesday, the resultant fireball drawing one of our photographers and, within minutes, a small crowd unused to seeing such things in Lafayette.

The car’s occupant made it out before things got hot but the KIA was a total loss.

    You have to wonder if the car company did any market research in America before naming the car KIA.
