HYDERABAD: A moving tanker caught fire in Hyderabad, but the driver and cleaner escaped unharmed in a miraculous turn of events.
The incident occurred on Saturday morning at the Hayathnagar stretch of the Outer Ring Road (ORR) when the tanker, travelling from Pharma City towards Ghatkesar, suddenly caught fire. The driver noticed flames emerging from the engine and, sensing the danger, both the driver and cleaner immediately jumped out of the vehicle.
