Donut Supercharged May 9, 2012 Share May 9, 2012 http://sg.news.yahoo.com/taxi-catches-fire...ne-injured.html A taxi caught fire along the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) towards Changi Airport and near the Old Police Academy on Tuesday afternoon. Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that they were alerted to the incident around 12.45pm and they promptly dispatched one fire engine, one Red Rhino and two fire motorbikes to the scene. The driver of the ComfortDelGro taxi said that she stopped her taxi at the road shoulder after she saw smoke emerging from her car bonnet, reported Channel NewsAsia. Minutes later, the bonnet caught fire. SCDF firefighters reached the scene shortly after. According to SCDF, the fire was put out within ten minutes and no one was injured. Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fire. This is the second incident in less than a month that a taxi has caught fire along an expressway. On April 24, a Comfort Hyundai Sonata taxi burst into flames in a tunnel on the Central Expressway (CTE), causing a massive jam that stretched all the way to Ang Mo Kio. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
