The "Fremantle Highway", a large cargo ship with nearly 3,000 cars on board, is on fire off the coast of the Netherlands after an electric car reportedly exploded. The fire spread rapidly, forcing some of the crew members to jump into the water.

One of the crew members was killed and 22 others were injured, according to rescue workers. The Dutch Coast Guard says it may take "weeks" to extinguish the massive fire which continues to burn inside the ship.
