An Austin man’s snowmobile was destroyed by flames after he tried to turn it on and it started on fire.
Kyle Diggins, 26, turned on his 2004 Polaris snowmobile in his garage around 5:30 p.m. on Monday. He told police it started on fire and he dragged it into his driveway to avoid the garage burning, according to Police Chief Brian Krueger.
When Austin firefighters arrived in the 1100 block of Fourth Ave. SW, the snowmobile was fully engulfed in flames in the driveway, behind the residence.
The snowmobile was a total loss, but there was no other damage and Diggins was not injured.
