Car catches fire at Saudi petrol pump

Quick-thinking petrol station workers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, averted a major tragedy when they saw a car at a fuel station catching fire. A terrifying surveillance video captured the moment the fire started under the car while petrol is being filled in its tank.

The footage shows a woman sitting in the backseat running out of the burning car and moments later a man is seen coming out of the driver's seat as the fire quickly engulfs the vehicle. Fortunately, the staff used extinguishers just in time to prevent what could have been a dangerous situation.

No one was injured in the fire accident at the petrol station, however, police is investigating the incident, TFT quoted Sada newspaper reports.
