Who is Jessica Gale Patterson?
A South Carolina woman who accumulates gasoline suffered burns to her body after her car crashed and caught fire while fleeing police.
Jessica Gale Patterson, 28, was driving through Pickens County in her white Pontiac G6 Thursday night when an officer tried to stop her for a stolen license plate.
Unbeknownst to the police officer, Patterson’s Pontiac was loaded with containers of fuel that she had accumulated amid the current gas crisis caused by the Colonial Pipeline hack.
According to the statement issued by the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office, Patterson ‘sped up her vehicle in an attempt to elude police’ before ‘losing control of the car’ and rolled onto the side of the road.
The vehicle caught fire immediately and multiple explosions were heard inside before Patterson exited the burning Pontiac.
“The sheriff pushed Patterson to the ground to put out the flames,” the sheriff’s office stated.
She was subsequently rushed to the hospital, but the severity of her burns has yet to be publicly disclosed.
Patterson has admitted to police that she was accumulating gasoline in the trunk of the car, which they have determined that she was the “catalyst for the explosions.”
