Mary Wilson lives directly across the street and returned home immediately following the explosion.

"We had a piece of it over on our yard. The yard burned, it was on fire. There was a piece up there on the roof," said Wilson, pointing to pieces of the SUV scattered across the neighborhood.

Federal Way Police are leading the investigation with the assistance of FBI and ATF. No word yet on a cause for the explosion.
