    LOS ANGELES – An SUV was destroyed in an explosion at a Van Nuys shopping center parking lot late Thursday night.

    Sky5 was over the scene near the intersection of Van Nuys Boulevard and Sherman Way shortly after 11 p.m.

    The badly mangled Toyota 4Runner could be seen in a Super King Markets parking lot. Car parts and debris from the blast were scattered many yards away.

    The victim, a 37-year-old man who apparently lived in the vehicle, told firefighters that he had several butane canisters in the car that ignited.

    He was transported to a hospital with minor injuries, a Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson said.

    No other cars were damaged in the blast.
