A downed power line destroyed cars at M-53 Auto Sales at 12 Mile and Dequindre Road in Warren, says Mayor Jim Fouts.

At least 10 vehicles were destroyed by an "arching downed primary wire." 

The ice accumulation on the wires were too great, and coupled with the wind, the wires landed across the ten vehicles, starting a fire.

The scene is still active and the dealership is taped off, officials said.
