A Smart car was engulfed in flames during the night in Via dello Stelvio, in the Secondigliano district of Naples.
According to Il Mattino Napoli, the alarm was raised by passersby and residents shortly before midnight after the car caught fire in the street.
Firefighters and police intervened at the scene. Traffic along the road was temporarily closed while crews carried out operations.
The car sustained extensive material damage in the fire.
Initial checks reported by the source point to a possible accidental cause, potentially a short circuit, and rule out arson. That assessment remains preliminary, with no independent confirmation of the cause available in the acquired source.
