Reports have revealed that the car went up in flames following suspected engine wear out. This is, however, yet to be confirmed by relevant authorities.
The incident resulted in a traffic snarl-up with motorists warned to use alternative routes. The fire was ideally put out by firefighters who were called to the scene.
