Torching cars has become a New Year’s tradition in France.
Back in 2010 it was an exceptionally violent New Year’s with 1,137 cars torched for the holiday.
Cars are particularly threatened by fire in immigrant communities.
This video from Monday night is like something from a zombie flick.
This year over 1,000 cars were burnt to a crisp on New Year’s Eve.
