Isaac Sanchez has had a string of bad luck, WAGM TV reports. According to the news outlet, he had broken his knee in February and then fell ill later in the year. This caused him to build up significant hospital bills and his car was reportedly his only way to make any income as a delivery driver for Papa John's.

Unfortunately, a group of thieves recently attempted to steal the car’s catalytic converter. While they were apparently unsuccessful, the next day, Sanchez’s car reportedly caught fire. According to a mechanic, the fire was caused by the catalytic converter.
