Images show the car in question driving slowly in the second lane, suggesting it may have had technical problems.

Then, suddenly, a strong flame erupts from the front of the car, from the radiator area and from under the hood.

Three adults quickly get out of the car and remove a small child from a special seat. Then people take things out of the trunk and walk away from the car.

At the same time, other cars either stand nearby or rush past the car, moving away from the scene of the incident.

During the entire filming, neither the owner of the injured car nor any of the drivers nearby took out a fire extinguisher to try to put out the flames.

Photos after the fire show how the car later burned to the ground.

We will remind, on Tuesday morning in Pasajul Unirii in the capital there was an accident with a large emission of smoke. The road was blocked for about three hours.
