7-seat car caught fire in high-tech zone, driver revealed shocking, chilling news

At around 3:30 p.m. on August 27, a 7-seater car suddenly caught fire at the Ho Chi Minh City High-Tech Park. The fire engulfed the entire car, and the driver was lucky to escape. The incident is being investigated by authorities to clarify the cause.

At around 1 p.m. the same day, the peaceful atmosphere on D1 Road was suddenly torn apart by shouts and billowing black smoke from a 7-seat car with license plate 72A-116.xx. The car was on its way from Hanoi Highway to Vo Chi Cong Street when the horrific incident suddenly occurred.

Mr. H., the lucky driver who narrowly escaped, was still in shock when recounting the life-and-death moment. "At that time, I saw smoke rising from the cabin so I quickly got out of the car. When I got out of the car, the fire broke out in front," Mr. H. shared in a trembling voice. His account painted a haunting picture: between the thin line between life and death, just a little delay, the consequences could have been unpredictable.

More notably, Mr. H. said that this car was an "old model" and he had only bought it for 3 months. This is the detail that made many experts and people following the incident ask big questions about the cause of the fire. Could it be that the old machines, which had been in operation for many years, were no longer safe?

Warning bells about "old" cars and potential dangers

Driver H.'s revelation is not just a simple information about the accident, but also a strong warning bell about the potential risks when using "old" cars. When a car has been used for many years, the mechanical, electrical, and fuel systems can all deteriorate. Aging electrical lines, peeling insulation, loose connections... all can become the "trigger" for a fire.

Buying a used car comes with its own risks. Although it is cheaper than a new car, the long-term maintenance and repair costs can become a burden. More worryingly, many older cars have been “magically” sold by previous owners, hiding serious technical faults. This creates a deadly danger, when the driver is unaware of the time bombs silently waiting inside the machine.

In the case of this 7-seater, it is possible that a minor electrical problem or fuel leak occurred. When the car was running, the engine temperature increased, combined with sparks from a short circuit, creating the perfect conditions for a fire to break out. A seemingly random event, but in fact, it was the result of a series of technical factors that had accumulated over a long time.

This incident further emphasizes the importance of regular inspection and maintenance of vehicles, especially for older vehicles. Every vehicle, whether new or old, needs to be cared for like a “companion.” Strange noises, unusual burning smells, or simply a warning light on the dashboard are all signs that should not be ignored.

Immediately after receiving the news, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department (PC07), Ho Chi Minh City Police quickly arrived at the scene. With professionalism and speed, the soldiers controlled the fire, prevented the fire from spreading, and protected the safety of those around. The image of the front of the car completely burned and deformed demonstrated the terrible devastation of the fire. Fortunately, the cockpit and body of the car were not affected, showing that the driver's quick thinking saved his life and minimized the damage.

The official cause of the fire is under investigation by the police. However, through what happened and the driver’s account, it can be seen that this incident was not just a simple traffic accident, but also a haunting warning.

It reminds everyone of their responsibility for the vehicle they are using, and the dangers of overlooking minor technical errors. In modern life, where vehicles have become an indispensable part of transportation, ensuring safety for yourself and those around you is a top priority. The 7-seat car fire at the Ho Chi Minh City High-Tech Park is not only a hot news, but also a valuable lesson that everyone needs to remember.
