Two men died in a burning car along Sixth Avenue at about 4am on Saturday (25 August). STOMPer Tony Hew, who saw the car burst into flames and took this photo at 4.07am, said: "There was no chance for anyone in the car."

 

"Car went off the road at Sixth Avenue, hit a tree before landing in the

monsoon drain alongside it.

 

"It burst into flames almost immediately and there was no chance for anyone in the car," the STOMPer said in an email at 11am today.

 

STOMP contacted the Police, which said the vehicle hit the boundary wall of a housing unit along Sixth Avenue, in the direction of Holland Road.

 

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said one man was found trapped in the driver seat and the other in the front passenger seat when rescuers arrived at the scene within seven minutes of a call about a car on fire.

 

It said the two men were pronounced dead at 4.35am.

The SCDF said it received a call about a car on fire at 4.02am.

 

"The SCDF responded with two fire bikes, one fire engine and one ambulance to a car fire along Sixth Avenue, towards Bukit Timah," it said at about 11am today.

 

"Upon arrival at the incident site at 4.09am, SCDF firefighters saw a car engulfed in flames and proceeded immediately to extinguish the fire.

 

"The fire was swiftly extinguished by SCDF within 5 minutes using 1 water jet and 2 impulse guns.

 

"SCDF firefighters found 2 male casualties trapped in the driver seat and the front passenger seat.

 

"They were extricated within 15 minutes. They were pronounced dead at scene by SCDF Paramedic at 4.35am."
