Car catches fire on Shankar Vihar flyover in Delhi
The occupants of the vehicle escaped without injury after the car was completely gutted by the flames, according to ANI.
A car caught fire and was completely destroyed on the Shankar Vihar flyover in Delhi, according to ANI. No injuries were reported during the incident.
Saurabh Jain, the driver of the vehicle, said he and his companions were travelling back from a pilgrimage to Balaji, Salasar, and Khatu-ji when they saw smoke. Jain stated that the car belonged to a friend and had been borrowed for the trip.
Jain told ANI that the group pulled the vehicle to the side of the road after noticing smoke, at which point the car caught fire. He said all occupants moved away from the vehicle in time and did not suffer any harm.
The incident follows an earlier fire in November in the Khidki Extension area of Malviya Nagar, South Delhi. In that instance, Fire Officer Kamlesh said three fire engines arrived to extinguish a fire in a car parked in a building basement.
In the Malviya Nagar incident, officials rescued 10 to 11 people trapped in the building. The fire was brought under control within 20 minutes, preventing it from spreading to residential floors.
