A silver pickup truck was destroyed after becoming engulfed in flames in the parking lot of Grossmont Center at about noon on Thursday.

Bystanders stood in awe as La Mesa firefighters arrived and quickly put out the flames, preventing a possible chain reaction of damage to other vehicles, though the car parked next to the pickup truck did sustain some damage.
