BOULDER, Colo. (KDVR) — Boulder Police are urging drivers to slow down after responding to a car that jumped a curb, hit a tree and then caught fire.

“This looks pretty bad, doesn’t it? Despite these horrific photos, the driver’s injuries were minor, but it easily could have been much worse,” said BPD.
