A car caught fire on the Aligarh-Palwal highway in Uttar Pradesh with the driver stuck inside. A local young man pulled him out through the window.

Key Lessons

  • A local young man reached the burning car and pulled the driver out through the window before the whole car was in flames.
  • It was a real risk: the driver was hurt while being pulled out, and the car burnt out completely soon after.
  • General guidance: if a vehicle is on fire, call 101 or 112 first and ask others to stop traffic and keep back. Try to reach a trapped person only if you can do it without stepping into the flames.
  • General guidance: if your own car catches fire, pull over, switch off the engine and get everyone out at once, before smoke fills the cabin.

What Happened

According to the video's description, a car being driven on the Aligarh-Palwal highway in Uttar Pradesh suddenly turned into a ball of fire, and the driver was trapped inside. People nearby ran towards it, and one local young man, ignoring his own safety, reached the burning car and with great effort pulled the driver out through the window. The driver was hurt in the process, but he was saved. The car was fully burnt moments later, and police arrived to manage the traffic, says EXPOSED NEWS.
