SINGAPORE: A person died after a car caught fire on the Tampines Expressway (TPE) towards the Seletar Expressway (SLE) in the early hours of this morning (Oct 31).

A video uploaded to Facebook by Roads.sg shows a white sedan parked beside roadside bushes on the highway, completely engulfed in flames. The blaze appeared intense, with the entire vehicle consumed by fire before the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) arrived to extinguish it.

The SCDF said it received a report at about 2:55 a.m. regarding a vehicle fire along the TPE towards the SLE, near the Central Expressway (CTE) exit. Firefighters used a water jet to put out the blaze.

Paramedics who arrived at the scene pronounced one person dead.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the car, believed to be a BMW, had skidded before catching fire.

Following the incident, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced on the social media platform X at 6:20 a.m. that the SLE exit had been closed. Less than an hour later, the LTA updated that the CTE exit was also closed.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
