There were moments of fear this late morning on State Road 131, shortly after the turnoff for Mogoro . A BMW caught fire while driving , and only the driver's quick reflexes prevented further damage, although the car was completely destroyed.
The alarm was raised a few meters past the Mogoro winery, heading towards Cagliari, around noon, when the driver noticed something was wrong: smoke and flames from the front. He stopped the car just long enough to be engulfed in flames within minutes.
The Sanluri firefighters and Laconi traffic police officers responded to the scene immediately after the fire was called. No injuries were reported, and traffic was slightly slowed during the firefighting and cleanup operations.
