Car inferno at Prachin Buri petrol station, owner vanishes

[snoop1130]

 

A Nissan sedan caught fire at a petrol station in the central Prachin Buri province today, though the owner of the burning car seemingly disappeared. The blaze prompted a swift response from the station staff and local fire services.

 

The incident occurred at approximately 8.45am today, along Route 304, Mueang Kabin Buri-entrance to Nakhon Ratchasima, in the old city area of Kabin Buri.

 

The scene of the sedan fire was 500 metres before reaching the traffic lights at the Kabin Buri intersection. The burning Nissan vehicle, registered with Prachin Buri license plates, was parked near the fuel dispensing area.

 

The sight of the flaming sedan shocked everyone in the petrol station, causing both staff and bystanders to scramble in reaction to the fire. The station’s staff and fire officials quickly collaborated to extinguish the fire.

 

Upon inspection, the fire had extensively damaged the engine and the front of the sedan.

Will Nissan send out engineers to investigate the cause of the fire, or is that only for BYD ??

Remember the captions in Bangkok Post articles when they published a photograph of a car accident? The caption always read "the driver fled the scene" .........

Off topic of Thailand, in the U.S. of A.

I saw the aftermath of car fires yesterday.  A car between two others caught fire.   All three totaled. 

One fire truck, on the way to the fire, was hit by another car, and the driver fled the scene in his car!
