"That son of a bitch lit me on fire."

That's what 18-year-old Hazel Crest burn victim told police upon emerging from coma last week. Police say the woman is still in "bad shape" and has burns covering most of her face and body.

On January 15, her 21-year-old boyfriend Damenique Traylor (pictured) covered her in lighter fluid and set her on fire. He then took her to the hospital, where he told doctors she had an accident while barbecuing. Traylor turned himself in to police last night and faces heinous battery charges, a Class X felony.
