beyond repair: The Santro car which caught fire on Tuesday.

HYDERABAD: A moving Santro car caught flames on the Khairatabad flyover causing commotion among commuters and holding up the traffic for over 30 minutes on Tuesday evening.

The driver and two passengers, including the car owner Ramya Reddy of Nizamabad, escaped unhurt even as the car got over 70 per cent damaged.

Police said what triggered the fire is yet to be ascertained, but sparks flying from the engine triggered flames even as the car was moving slowly on the flyover.

As smoke emanated from the bonnet, the driver alerted the owner and all of them got out before flames erupted and engulfed the car.

A fire tender was pressed into service to put out the blazes.
