Driver gets in wreck, sees his home catch fire, gets ticket ...

One moment, Justin Hill was turning into his driveway. Minutes later he was being flown to a hospital as his
home went up in flames. Then he got a traffic ticket.

Hill, 42, got into a crash after turning into the path of an oncoming car Tuesday evening, said Tennessee
Highway Patrol Officer Monte Terry.

Hill's wife heard the crash and ran outside, leaving the kitchen stove, where she had been cooking, unattended.

The rural central Tennessee home had extensive damage. Hill was treated at the hospital and released, but he
was cited in the accident for failure to yield.
