Gurugram Fire: Panic gripped the Delhi-Jaipur highway on Tuesday night after fire incidents broke out at two separate locations. The first fire scare occurred near the Jhadsa flyover when a truck heading towards Delhi suddenly caught fire. Eyewitnesses said the blaze began in the cabin and quickly engulfed the entire vehicle. Fortunately, the driver and a co-passenger acted swiftly, jumping out just in time to escape the flames, averting what could have been a tragedy.
According to a Jagran.com report, not long after the first incident, another fire broke out near the busy Ambience Mall stretch when a moving car suddenly caught fire. Showing presence of mind, the car’s driver immediately pulled over to the side of the road and exited safely.
