Ernakulam: A car travelling along the Aluva Flyover caught fire around 8 p.m. last night, avoiding any casualties. The car, a Global Fiesta, carrying passengers Shashank and Sarath, both residents of Vaduthala, was en route to Thrissur when the fire erupted. Swift action by the occupants, who promptly evacuated the vehicle, taking their mobile phones, averted a potentially catastrophic incident.
The fire force arrived promptly and successfully extinguished the flames, although the vehicle suffered extensive damage. The incident led to a traffic jam on the national highway for several hours.
