The driver halted the vehicle about 200 metres before the Adyar bus stop after noticing smoke emanating from the gearbox. He immediately alerted and evacuated the commuters. Within minutes, the gearbox and fuel tank caught fire, and the whole bus was ablaze. Fire services personnel rushed to the scene and doused the fire. As a precaution, police evacuated staff from nearby commercial establishments on LB Road.
