This is the moment a car explodes in a huge blast while being refuelled at a compressed natural gas station, sending debris flying across the forecourt.
The explosion happened on National Highway 48 near Karjan, in Gujarat's Vadodara district, western India, on 1 October.
CCTV footage shows several vehicles parked around the pumps as people move across the filling station before the car suddenly erupts in a massive cloud of smoke and dust.
Those nearby immediately run for safety as pieces of the vehicle are hurled across the station.
The car was reportedly empty of people at the time because its occupants had stepped away during refuelling, and no injuries or deaths were reported.
Two other vehicles parked nearby were damaged by the force of the explosion.
Reports said the car's gas tank burst while it was being filled, although the precise cause of the failure has not yet been established.
Firefighters from Karjan and local police later secured the area and began investigating the circumstances surrounding the blast.
