On December 9, 2009, at 3:59 a.m., the Police Department responded to Florin Perkins Road and Ramos Court on a traffic accident with a car on fire.  While Officers were en route, a passerby and the driver of the big rig attempted to use fire extinguishers to put out the vehicle fire without success.  The driver of the passenger vehicle, a male adult, was declared deceased at the scene.
