03/08/19 at 5:45am I was entering us hwy 23 n. Bound from central Ave. In sylvania ohio. The car was having issues with acceleration as I tried to get on the freeway. Suddenly I heard like a fan noise, the oil light came on followed by the engine light and the car just shut off! I pulled to the side of the road as smoke was filling the cabin. I got out and went around front and flames were coming out between the hood and the fender on the passenger side. I called 911. One police and 2 fire trucks showed up in nothing flat! the fire was moving into the cab. The car is a total loss! after my own research I firmly believe it was the cooling fan resistor. That would explain the noise I heard and the fire.
