YOUNGSTOWN - Two people managed to get out of a car before it was destroyed by a fire in Youngstown early Wednesday.

Police blocked an intersection on the Southside early Wednesday as firefighters put out flames that broke out in the car.

Fire crews were called out just after 4 a.m. to West Auburndale Avenue along Market Street where a car was burning next to a building.

Dispatchers were told that flames had spread throughout the car.

The fire was hot enough to melt the tires.

There's no word yet on what caused the fire.

The intersection opened again after the fire was out.  No one was hurt.
