A car was reduced to a charred shell after it burst into flames on a Hong Kong highway on Sunday afternoon, with the driver and his two passengers managing to escape without injury.
The vehicle began emitting smoke as it travelled along Kwai Chung Road near Lai King Estate at around 3pm.
Flames quickly engulfed the car.
Footage from passing motorists shows thick black smoke from the vehicle billowing into the sky. A small explosion is also heard in the clips posted online.
Three men – the driver and two passengers – managed to escape in time and unhurt.
