Witnessed an i10 catching fire on the Adyar to Madhya Kailash road in Chennai last night. I see this car parked on the side, all doors open with smoke pouring out from the insides and in no time flames start blazing out of the bonnet (near the windshield). Was quite scary to see the car just catch fire like that. Wonder what caused it. The occupants were out and I don't think anyone was injured, since all the doors were opened. |

The tyre seems to come flying from nowhere. Would have been fatal if it had hit the windshield. Was the car by chance a Suzuki Swift?(Going by the looks of the grill) |

Hey i pased it around the same time as well ~9:50pm. I passed it before any flames engulfed the car i.e a few seconds ahead of you. People had gotten out, were throwing buckets of water on it, but smoke was coming out and few people were making calls (HMIL/police, I presume). Did you see any further information in the papers? It was a really scary sight man. |
| the people around the car panicked and were shouting |
| According to Kancheepuram police sources, the accident took place around 8 a.m. when the car deviated from its path, for reasons unknown, and collided head-on with the lorry. The car was smashed. |
