Hyderabad: A moving car caught fire at Chaderghat in the old city on Monday evening. Luckily, no casualties were reported as the person behind the wheel managed to escape in the nick of time.
The car owner Uday Kumar was driving his vehicle – a Maruthi Suzuki car – from Begumpet to Saidabad when the four-wheeler caught fire at Chaderghat road. First, smoke came out of the engine and soon it caught fire. Within no time, the vehice was engulfed by fire and damaged fully.
A fire tender from the Gowliguda fire station reached the spot of the incident and doused the fire. The fire might have started due to short circuit in the car, said a fire official.
