My wife and three children left the house in our 1998 plymouth grand voyager minivan at approximately 8:05am on wednesday, september 1, 1999 to travel to school. After traveling approximately 1 and 1/2 miles, they began to smell gasoline. After traveling another 1/2 mile, motorists behind the van began honking. One of our sons looked and saw flames out of the back of the van. My wife pulled the van to the side of the road, turned off the ignition, and removed the keys. Everyone quickly go out of the van through the front doors and the right side sliding door. At this point, flames were coming our from underneath the van in the rear and on both sides.
