German police reported that the owner had accidentally topped up her diesel car with petrol. After noticing the mistake, the 55-year-old asked bystanders to help push her car to the station’s vacuum cleaner.
In an attempt to suck out the petrol with the vacuum machine and a garden hose, the vacuum cleaner caught fire, after which sparks quickly set alight the car as well.
The total fire damage is expected to add up to €30,000. One person was injured in the incident.
