HCMC - On the evening of August 10, a 7-seat car caught fire near the Go Dua overpass amid heavy rain, fortunately there were no casualties. The cause and damage of the fire are being investigated.

According to initial information, the fire broke out at around 6:30 p.m. on August 10, near the Go Dua overpass (Tam Binh ward). At this time, the driver about 35 years old (residing in Tay Ninh) was driving from Ho Chi Minh City to Tay Ninh, preparing to cross Go Dua bridge, when the car started to smell burning. He stopped the car for inspection, immediately after that, strong smoke from the roof spread into the cabin, making it difficult to breathe. The driver immediately opened the door to get out. A few seconds later, the fire broke out fiercely at the front of the car.

The male driver said the car was purchased more than 5 years ago, ran normally and had never had a major problem. Because they have not purchased any skin insurance, the possibility of insurance payment is very low.

After receiving the report, the Fire Prevention and Fighting Police of Area 2 dispatched 2 fire trucks to the scene. After about 5 minutes, the fire was controlled and completely extinguished, causing no human casualties. The cause of the fire and the extent of the damage are being investigated and clarified by the authorities.
