A Moscow girl having a cigarette in her car apparently didn’t give a second thought when she applied some spray to fix her hair. But it cost her life after the spray can caught fire and exploded.

The girl lost control of her Hyundai vehicle and it went straight into the border stone. Then the spilled fuel got ignited and a second blast followed torching down the car.

Experts believe the tragic accident was a result of an unfortunate coincidence of the hot weather that built pressure in the hair spray and a malfunction of the car’s safety systems.

to the best of my knowledge most sprays use butane/LPG or similar gas as propellent and usually carry a warning:"Do not use near a open/naked flame". Needless to say who reads the fine print on a can?

Are you kidding me with the results of why this poor girl died? Apparently she did not realize or just not thinking that that the spray from the can and an open flame would cause a fire and an explosion. Please don't blame the accident to the weather or the failure of her braking system. This accident was totally human made. Think what would you do if there was an explosion inside your car. No matter what kind of braking system you have, you are going to loose control. So lets put the blame where it is suppose to be. On this poor girl. God Bless her Soul.
