2-month old Chevrolet Sail Diesel catches fire - Driver burnt alive



Quote: The recent news state that a 42-years old man died as his two months old diesel-run Chevrolet Sail car caught fire on the Surajkund-Pali Road in Faridabad.



It is very sad to mention that due to the fierce fire, the victim couldnt get out of the Chevrolet diesel vehicle and was burnt alive. The victim, identified as, Hardev, a resident of the Hirapur village in Faridabad was trapped inside the car and died before the fire brigade was called to control the fire.



Police believe short-circuit could have triggered the fire, which jammed the central locking system of the car and Driver Hardev trapped Inside. The victim, was living on rent in Sector 14, Faridabad. He was on his way to Gurgaon from Faridabad through the Pali road when the incident took place about 8.30pm on Tuesday, said a police officer investigating the case.



May the poor soul rest in peace and may the almighty give courage to the family of the deceased to overcome this disaster.







Shocking news of a 42 year old man burnt alive as the two month old Chevrolet Sail diesel caught fire. Short-circuit is the suspected reason for fire. Link from Gaadiwaadi. Even though such fire / accidents can happen in any car, incidents like these raise a lot of questions on the kind of safety a car provides. If the central locking gets jammed because of a fire and the occupants are charred to death trapped inside - this is clearly poor engineering, poor designing and poor testing. What is more appalling is that the car was only 2 months old, according to the news piece. A hardly run, new car causing such a horrific accident - too bad. Guess, Chevrolet should look into the faulty parts and issue a recall as soon as possible - if this is actually caused due to a manufacturing defect.May the poor soul rest in peace and may the almighty give courage to the family of the deceased to overcome this disaster.
