Fiery inferno in Torre del Greco, seven cars destroyed by flames: “It could have been a massacre”

Seven cars destroyed, a Vespa damaged and several trees burned is the toll of a fire which developed around 11pm on Tuesday 11 June in viale Diaz a Greek’s tower. The fuse was apparently set off by an old Nissan Micra traveling on the road with an elderly man on board.

The fire, according to some witnesses, started from the engine compartment of the car which was then abandoned in the center of the road by the driver who, fortunately, managed to save himself. The flames engulfed the passenger compartment and, probably after the explosion of the tank, involved the cars parked on both sides of the avenue. It cannot be ruled out that among the vehicles involved there were also some tanks fueled by LPG. “We experienced minutes of real terror,” says a lawyer who lives in Viale Diaz.

«First we heard two women screaming and asking for help and then we realized the fire was spreading quickly: the flames were very high and there were several explosions. We were very scared. We were lucky, because it could have been a massacre.”
