If you park next to a propane refueling depot, and there is propane in the air, the engine can "runaway". Same thing can happen with worn rings. The engine will pull oil from the sump and take off until something breaks or oil runs out.

The driver you talked to may have been putting liquid propane in, causing much too much fuel at once.
