Fiery crash closes stretch of Buck Jones Road in Cary for hours

CARY, N.C. (WTVD) -- A car crash and ensuing fire closed a Cary street for several hours on Tuesday afternoon.

It happened shortly after 3 p.m. in the 1200 block of Buck Jones Road in Cary.

Cary Police said it appeared the driver of a Spectrum-owned vehicle leaving the parking lot of South Hills Mall pulled out into the path of a Subaru and caused a T-bone collision.

No one was injured, but the Subaru caught on fire. The flames quickly spread to the Spectrum-owned vehicle and both became engulfed in flames.

Cary firefighters were managing the fire. A Town spokesman said the Spectrum vehicle was carrying spare fuel containers, which ignited.

Cary Fire officials have determined the fire needs to burn itself out because of the fuel involved.

Buck Jones Road was closed between Nottingham Drive and the south entrance of South Hills Mall. Officers cleared and reopened the roadway shortly after 6:15 pm.
