Engine ejected from car after single-vehicle crash near Tumwater, Sheriff Sanders says
It wasn't immediately clear from the post what the car had crashed into.
Thurston County deputies, Tumwater police and an East Olympia fire crew were dispatched to the collision on 93rd Avenue Southeast, which travels between Interstate 5 and Old Highway 99.
'911 callers reported the vehicle was on fire, fully engulfed, and exploding,' Sanders said in his post.
Sanders said a deputy was the first to arrive on scene and pulled the driver from what he described as a 'fiery wreck.'
The driver was taken into custody on suspicion of driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license, Sanders said.
'The collision had enough force to eject the engine from the car,' he said.

Justice Department fires man accused of throwing sandwich at agent during Trump DC intervention
WASHINGTON (AP) — A man charged with a felony for hurling a sandwich at a federal law-enforcement official in the nation's capital has been fired from his job at the Justice Department, Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a social media post Thursday. A video of Sean Charles Dunn berating a group of federal agents late Sunday went viral online as the White House ramped up a surge in law-enforcement patrols in Washington this week. Dunn was arrested on an assault charge after he threw a 'sub-style' sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent, a court filing said. Dunn, 37, of Washington, was an international affairs specialist in the Justice Department's criminal division, according to a department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a personnel matter. 'This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ,' Bondi wrote. 'You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.' The Justice Department still employs a former FBI agent who was charged with joining a mob's attack on the U.S. Capitol and cheering on rioters during the Jan. 6, 2021, siege. The former FBI supervisory agent, Jared Lane Wise, is serving as a counselor to Justice Department pardon attorney Ed Martin Jr., who was a leading figure in President Donald Trump's campaign to overturn the 2020 election. Around 11 p.m. on Sunday, Dunn approached a group of CBP agents, pointed a finger in an agent's face and swore at him, calling him a 'fascist,' a police affidavit says. An observer's video captured Dunn throwing a sandwich at the agent's chest, the affidavit says. 'Why are you here? I don't want you in my city!' Dunn shouted, according to police. Dunn tried to run away but was apprehended, police said. An attorney for Dunn didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The incident coincided with Trump's push to flood the city with National Guard troops and federal officers. Trump claims crime in the city has reached emergency levels, but city leaders point to statistics showing violent crime at a 30-year low.

Trump's answer to numbers he doesn't like: Change them or throw them away
President Trump presented inaccurate crime statistics to justify a federal takeover of Washington. He announced plans for the census to stop counting undocumented immigrants. And he ordered the firing of the official in charge of compiling basic statistics about the U.S. economy after a weak jobs report.
