And above we said that the batteries of smartphones stopped exploding, word comes that a battery from a Samsung model not only exploded, but also set a car on fire and nearly killed its owner.
This time, however, it's not clear which Samsung model is responsible, as the owner owned two phones, a Galaxy S4 and a Galaxy S8. So it is difficult to determine which of the two eventually exploded and destroyed a Nissan Maxima. Samsung is already investigating the case and will probably give us more information soon.
Η information comes to us from WXYZ of Detroit, and mentions that a woman guide, who remains anonymous, barely managed to pull over and stop her car before it was engulfed in flames. The incident happened on the morning of May 21, when a woman was driving her car with the two phones placed in a cup holder.
Although the lack of evidence may raise doubts about this incident, the Detroit Fire Department has confirmed it, but without giving details of the investigation.
On the other hand, her lawyer, Gerald Thurswell, says the driver after the incident has trouble sleeping and says he has already contacted the phone maker.
Good news for Samsung is that it has not been treated so far. The bad news is that if Galaxy S8 is the cause of the fire then the news may cause new concerns to Samsung phone owners.
