A road accident in Lansing, MI. quickly turned into something far more grievous last week, when one of the cars involved collided with the gas meter of nearby house and triggered a massive explosion.

The owners of the house were evacuated and no one was hurt in the explosion, the UPI news agency reported.

A video of the explosion, shared by Lansing firefighter William Pawluk, who took it using a dashboard camera, shows the car stopped at the edge of the house before it suddenly collapses following a massive fireball.
