The woman who this morning was at the wheel of a Ford Transit van that suddenly caught fire while driving in Carbonia experienced moments of fear.

She was saved by exiting the vehicle after having the quick reflexes to approach it almost close to the cycle path . The accident took place near the roundabout between Is Meis and the large Serbariu mine and the firefighters, carabinieri and municipal police rushed to the scene.

The woman was driving the vehicle when suddenly, after having passed the roundabout in the direction of the Intermodal station, she noticed flames coming out quite high from the engine compartment . She immediately understood what was about to happen and the danger she was about to run: in fact she pulled over and got out of the vehicle when the fire was about to develop on the cockpit , which was then destroyed.

A wise decision because an instant after the fire it enveloped the entire front of the vehicle . Traffic slowed down and partly haywire (also due to deviations related to public works) to allow safety operations.
