A motorist remains hospitalized at Erlanger hospital after his car caught fire Sunday morning on Interstate 75 in Gordon County.
Dan Gloth, 56, of Cartersville, Ga., was flown to Erlanger after deputies pulled him from his burning 1996 Buick Regal, the Gordon County Sheriff’s Office said in a release.
Authorities did not know the cause of the fire Sunday, and the investigation is ongoing.
Deputies were dispatched at 5:15 a.m. and arrived within three minutes. The care was on the southbound side near exit 317, the release stated. The car was “engulfed in flames,” it says.
Someone was already attempting to help when officers arrived, but that person couldn’t open the car door, the release stated.
