Two people reportedly suffered minor injuries, police said.

Footage sent to Newshub shows the car in flames up on the side barrier of the highway.

The footage also shows flames on the road. 

People passing by in vehicles can be heard saying, "Oh my god", as a small explosion within the car occurs. 

The crash seems to have taken down a light pole and damaged signs.
