Several people tried to quench the fire as the vehicle was engulfed in flames
A luxury BMW M8 has been completely destroyed by fire on the Borteyman Road, leaving onlookers in shock.
The incident, which occurred on February 21, 2026, was captured in a viral video circulating on the social media platform X.
In the footage, bystanders could be seen helplessly watching as the high-performance vehicle was engulfed in flames, with thick smoke billowing into the sky.
Screams of disbelief filled the air as eyewitnesses exclaimed, “Ei, eii, eiii,” with little to do to salvage the situation.
Despite the frantic attempts of bystanders to combat the blaze using portable fire extinguishers, their efforts proved ineffective against the rapidly spreading flames.
One onlooker could be heard urging others to help, shouting, “Spray it! Remove the pin!” as they struggled with the safety mechanisms of the extinguishers.
Amidst the chaos, a sense of urgency grew as bystanders wondered aloud about the whereabouts of the fire service.
“Where is the fire service?! The car is burning to the ground!” some of them could be heard lamenting.
Unfortunately, with the fire service unavailable, the flames to completely consumed the vehicle.
The car owner, visibly distraught, was heard weeping as he watched his prized possession reduced to ashes, lamenting, “Oh, ohh, ohhhh.”
As the situation unfolded, some bystanders tried to offer words of comfort, encouraging him to remain grateful for his safety.
“Trust in God and take heart; at least you’re alive and not trapped in the car. Something greater than this vehicle will come to you,” one person reassured him.
In response to inquiries about his destination, the car owner explained, “I was heading home after getting food, and then this unfortunate incident occurred on my way.”
One woman, attempting to console him, remarked, “In everything, give thanks that you weren’t harmed. I had an accident with a car I bought for my mom, and it’s currently at the mechanic’s shop. I haven’t informed any of my relatives about what happened to me or the car. I’m just grateful to be alive. So, stop crying and trust in God — everything happens for a reason.”
