A moving car caught fire on Agra’s National Highway-19 in the Etmaduddaula area, prompting a swift evacuation by three occupants who escaped unharmed. Firefighters quickly controlled the blaze, though the vehicle was completely destroyed. Police are examining the cause of the incident, which briefly disrupted highway traffic.

A sudden car fire on National Highway-19 in Agra narrowly averted a tragedy on Monday, after three travellers managed to exit the vehicle moments before it was engulfed in flames. The incident occurred in the Etmaduddaula police station limits as the occupants were driving from Firozabad toward Agra.

According to initial information, the car was in motion when smoke began rising from the engine compartment. Within moments, flames spread rapidly, forcing the driver to bring the vehicle to a halt on the busy highway. All three passengers escaped to safety before the fire intensified.

Emergency responders from the Agra Fire Department reached the spot promptly and brought the blaze under control. Despite their swift intervention, the vehicle was completely destroyed. Police officials confirmed that no injuries were reported and that a major disaster was prevented due to the timely evacuation and quick response by the fire team.

Authorities are assessing the cause of the fire, while traffic on the highway was briefly slowed during firefighting operations. The incident underscores the risks associated with sudden mechanical failures and highlights the importance of rapid emergency response on high-traffic roadways.
