Gurugram, January 19

Four people had a miraculous escape as the car they were travelling in burst into flames near Rajiv Chowk here on Tuesday.

The incident happened under the Rajiv Chowk flyover as a white Creta car coming from Sohna road suddenly caught fire. The occupants though jumped out of the car in the nick of time and called the police for help.   

Police reached the spot and cordoned off the area and called the fire services. Two fire engines were pressed into service to douse the fire.

Reason behind the incident is being probed.

A senior officer from the fire services department said the blaze might have been caused by a short circuit but they were investigating the matter.  

No one was hurt in the incident, but the car was completely gutted, the officer informed.
