A Volvo sleeper bus on its way from Dehradun to Jaipur caught fire early Wednesday morning near Crystal World Water Park, just outside Haridwar.
The blaze started in the engine compartment around 4am but thanks to the driver spotting a technical fault and acting fast, everyone made it out safely, even two foreign tourists.
