TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A drive through town took a dramatic turn for a Topeka man Thursday afternoon.

The man was driving in the 1700 block of SE Adams just after 3 pm when he noticed smoke coming from the engine. He pulled to the side of the street and got out. What started as a few flames quickly grew intoa fireball that engulfed the vehicle.

The man was not hurt. Topeka Fire crews blocked Adams while they put out the fire.
