Car erupts in flames along ECP, no injuries reported

SINGAPORE: A car burst into flames on Thursday evening (26 June) along the East Coast Parkway (ECP), near the Still Road exit at around 5.30pm.

Videos shared by eyewitnesses on TikTok showed the burning vehicle parked on the shoulder of the expressway. The footage captured smoke billowing high above the road as drivers cautiously navigated past the burning car.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) has since confirmed it was alerted to the fire at approximately 5.30pm. Firefighters quickly arrived on scene and extinguished the blaze using a water jet and fire blankets.

No injuries were reported. The SCDF said the cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

Motorists are reminded to remain vigilant for hazards and to avoid stopping unnecessarily at the scene of an accident to take photos or videos, as this can endanger themselves and other road users.
