A driver in England had a rough day when he accidentally blew up his car. How does something like that happen? When the drive lights a cigarette after spraying air freshener inside.
Officials report the man sprayed an “excessive” amount of aerosol spray in his car before reaching for a cigarette.

People nearby heard an “enormous bang” and saw the car’s windows shatter, shaking surrounding buildings. Luckily, the driver made it out of the car with minor injuries.
