Motorcycle catches fire in Kothavalasa

Visakhapatnam: A motorcycle suddenly caught fire at Gayatrinagar on the Kothavalasa-Vizianagaram road Wednesday afternoon. The fire burnt down the vehicle completely.

According to information, I. Venkata Rao, a resident of Gayatrinagar, went to Gidijala on his two-wheeler to fetch drinking water. While returning, he noticed a small spark. He immediately pulled to the side and stepped down to inspect.

By then, the spark turned into a fire. In no time, the vehicle got completely burnt down.

Venkata Rao said, “Luckily, the tank had only a little bit of petrol. If petrol had been more, the vehicle could have exploded.”
