Gurugram, Aug 22 A man had a miraculous escape on Tuesday when his Land Rover SUV suddenly caught fire on the Sohna elevated highway near Vatika Chowk and burst into flames. The estimated cost of the vehicle is around Rs 35 lakhs.

A team from the fire department reached the spot and doused the flames, but by then, the car was fully damaged.

The man told the police that as he reached the near Vatika Chowk on the Sohna elevated highway, he noticed that smoke coming out from the bonnet.
