FHP said a 90-year-old man was driving his RV that was also towing a car when his car stalled in the right lane of I-95.
Investigators said a 45-year-old driver in that same lane didn't see the disabled RV blocking traffic and tried to dodge it but ended up rear-ending it.
This caused the RV to catch on fire with a second explosion from the stored propane tanks on the motor home.
The 90-year-old man was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
The other driver was not injured.
