Female driver flees from burning 5-seat car
Sitting in the cabin, seeing the fire approaching the car door, Ms. Tu Anh panicked and opened the door to run out to escape.
On May 17, Ms. Tu Anh drove a 5-seat car with Ha Tinh license plate on National Highway 1A in the South-North direction.

At around 11:20 a.m., when she reached the Thach Dai commune bypass (Thach Ha district, Ha Tinh), she discovered smoke coming from under the front tire. The female driver quickly pulled the car to the side of the road, opened the door and ran away.
"At that time, I took my car for maintenance. When I stopped, the fire had reached the main door," said Ms. Tu Anh.

The fire then flared up, engulfing the vehicle. The Ha Tinh Police Fire Department dispatched a fire truck to spray water. After 10 minutes, the fire was extinguished, but the entire car was burned down.
At the scene, the 5-seat car was left with only the frame, surrounded by oil. Thach Ha District Police are examining the scene and taking statements from the car owner to investigate the cause.
