A Monday kind of a day, really
Kind of a weird story. The van full of fireworks belonged to the man who owns the home it was parked in front of. There doesn’t seem to be a sense that he’s the one who set it on fire, though there’s nearly nothing about him at all in the article.
If you knew it was a van full of fireworks (and how would you know that?), what method would you use to set it on fire (unless it was unlocked, maybe?).
A slim white man was seen fleeing and neighbors have apparently been complaining about ‘anti social behavior’ lately.
Reading BBC news is weird. You always get the sense there’s a lot more to the story and the BBC knows it and is by-god not going to tell you about it.
Like this one: Teenager dies after car overturns at petrol station. What…? How do you even…? He had a front seat passenger with no injuries.

The BBC are just quoting the not-very-informative police report. I think it likely that the overturned car was travelling at speed on the road alongside the petrol station, maybe hit the kerb (or curb if you prefer), flipped over and ended up on the forecourt.

That’s the only thing I can imagine, Carl. But, boy, he’d have to be going at a fair old clip to flip a car going up the curb.
