CLEVELAND - A Good Samaritan helped a woman after her car caught fire on the Jennings Freeway in Cleveland.
Elaine Watkins was driving along the freeway just south of Harvard Avenue when her car overheated and burst into flames.
NewsChannel5 crews happened to be in the area when the incident happened around 2 p.m.
Parma resident Rick Long stopped to help Watkins, but his fire extinguisher was no match for the flames.
Fire crews arrived shortly after and put the flames out.
No one was injured, but the car is a complete loss.
