A taxicab caught fire Wednesday morning in Little Rock's River Market District near the intersection of Sherman Street and President Clinton Avenue.
Officials said the driver's foot got stuck on the accelerator and the vehicle then crashed into various objects including newspaper racks and a tree on a nearby sidewalk, eventually catching fire.
The driver was not hurt, authorities said, and was able to get out of the car on his own.
No one else was injured in the wreck. The Little Rock Fire Department put out the flames, and the city street department will start picking up the debris and towing the car from the intersection.
