A brand new SUV erupted into flames during a test drive Sunday after the car stopped working, officials said.

The driver pulled the 2015 GMC Yukon over to the side of the 2500 block of East Wagner Avenue in Anaheim before getting out of the vehicle along with the passenger, according to a news release by the Anaheim Police Department.

After they got out of the car, smoke and flames began pouring from the frame. The tires blew, and the car became engulfed in flames.

Schmidt said police are still unaware of the exact cause of the fire, but there was a fluid leak before the incident occurred that they are looking into.
