In a dramatic scene on the bustling thoroughfare of Sharae Faisal, a moving car was engulfed in flames, and subsequently reduced to a mere skeleton by the time firefighters managed to quell the inferno.
Eyewitnesses described how the flames quickly consumed the vehicle, identified as an older model Alto, as it travelled along the main artery of the city. It is believed that the fire originated from a spark under the hood, swiftly escalating into a fierce blaze.
Fortunately, the driver managed to bring the vehicle to a halt and exit safely before the flames fully engulfed the car. Prompt response from firefighters helped contain the fire, preventing it from spreading further and causing any casualties.
Rescuers on the scene attributed the cause of the fire to a short circuit within the vehicle’s electrical system. Despite the intensity of the blaze, there were no reports of injuries or loss of life in connection with the incident.
