A Sort of Car Bomb

This is a strange news report.  The driver of a car trying to evade Customs and Border Patrol in the San Diego area is stopped.  While being approached the car bursts into flames.  From the article:

Sheriff investigators pored over the burnt remains of a car that burst in to flames on Old Highway 80 near Sunrise Highway early Thursday morning after it was disabled by spike strips that the were deployed by Border Patrol officers during a pursuit.  The driver of the car was killed and a Border patrol agent was injured in the incident.

This seems a little over the top for someone involved in smuggling.

We need to be thinking about the escalating drug war.
