Stomper hears explosion as truck bursts into flames on PIE
A truck caught fire along the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) on May 7.
Stomper Suet Yee, who was passing by, told Stomp: "I believe the truck had a spontaneous combustion.
"The entire front of the vehicle was on fire, and there was an explosion."
In videos she shared, huge flames are seen consuming the front half of the vehicle, with thick black smoke billowing into the sky.
Other vehicles are seen moving to avoid the truck.
In response to a Stomp query, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the fire at about 7.45pm.
The incident occurred along the PIE towards Tuas, before the Eng Neo Avenue exit.
"The fire involved a truck," an SCDF spokesperson said.
"SCDF extinguished the fire using a water jet."
There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
