1997 Geo TrackerElectrical systemFire

My wife was traveling 5-7 mph on ice, the car spun and hit the curb (it did not go over the curb, just hit it). No damage was initially done to the vehicle, other than the fact that it stalled. When she tried to restart it, it would not start. After 5 minutes, she got out, walked away, and the vehicle exploded and caught on fire. This should never happen! If she were traveling any faster, she may be dead.
