A truck load of snazzy 2009 Ford Ka models went up in flames this afternoon (November 24, 2008) in Poland. According to our special polish agent -slash reader, slash translator- who goes by the nickname "Carnivor", the accident took place somewhere on the A-4 highway near the Tychy plant where the new Ford Ka is being produced alongside the Fiat 500. We have no idea what caused the six-and-a-half Ford KAs to burn down to bare metal, but it's clear from the photos that the truck wasn't involved in any head-on collision. Maybe a car rammed the truck from behind and burst into flames igniting the KAs - who knows. Check out the photos after the jump and tell us what you think. -"Dziekuje" for the tip Carnivor!

    Typical Ford, bursting into flames at the first opportunity. They apparently got depressed and decided to immolate themselves en masse, in protest to the destruction that the Ford corporate leadership has brought down upon the company and the once proud Ford name, like that Vietnamese monk who was protesting the Vietnam War . Obviously they were deeply depressed, and did not want to transfer that lethally depressive state to their future owners.

    Thank you gentlemen, your sacrifice will not be forgotten.

    money not wasted, the interiors on these looks much more attractive than the 'unburnt' versions... could prove inspiration for a new Ford design inspiration a bit like BMWs 'flame surfacing'

    I accidentally burnt my phone but it never looked as ugly as these. They look like paper-mashéd cars.

    From what I read, the reason was probably trailer brakes overheat. Thankfully, these aren't Reventons... ;-D
