Just saw that video of the car fire in Midtown... what's going on with all these accidents lately? 
It's like the whole city is just a hot mess 
. And to make matters worse, an HPD officer was involved in the crash... hope everyone involved is okay 
. Can't help but wonder what happened leading up to that moment... hopefully the investigation will get some answers soon

i'm still trying to process what just happened... did the car's airbag even go off? and wow the building got damaged too, hope everyone who lived there is okay 
my grandma would've been so scared if she was in that situation
Firefighters were so brave n fast 2 respond, but stil the building nearby got signifigant damag 
just got back from midtown and OMG the scene was straight out of a horror movie!!! I've never seen anything like it. One minute you're driving down Travis St and the next there's a car on fire with people standing around looking like they're in shock. And can we talk about how lucky those firefighters were? They risked their lives to save that vehicle and everyone inside. My heart is still racing just thinking about it...

i hope the officer is okay and can recover from this traumatic event soon
