A terrifying scene unfolded in Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan, when a moving car was engulfed in flames near the Shyam Nagar fruit market. The fire caused panic among travelers in the vicinity, with some abandoning their vehicles and fleeing the scene for safety.
Driver Escapes Unharmed
The driver managed to jump out of the moving vehicle just before it was completely consumed by flames. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, eliciting various reactions from netizens. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the fire.
Firefighters arrived at the scene; however, by the time they extinguished the flames, the vehicle had already been completely destroyed. Police later confirmed that the car belonged to a man named Jitendra.
The driver reported that he first noticed smoke emanating from the car’s air conditioning system. When he opened the bonnet to investigate further, flames suddenly erupted, quickly spreading throughout the vehicle. Additionally, it was noted that the handbrake had malfunctioned, leading the car to lose control and accelerate off a nearby bridge, reportedly colliding with several other vehicles on the road.
