An SBS Transit bus went up in flames along the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) on Friday (Feb 13), as captured in footage sent by an AsiaOne reader.

In one of two separate videos, black smoke can be seen billowing across multiple lanes as the person behind the camera approaches from the oncoming lane.

The other video shows a clearer view of the burning bus in the opposite side of the road - large, orange flames can be seen bursting from the rear of the bus as motorists drive past.

The reader came across this incident at around 11.50am on Friday.

 

 

Responding to queries from AsiaOne, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said that they were alerted to a fire along PIE towards Tuas before Clementi Road exit at around 11.45am.

The fire involving a bus was extinguished using two water jets. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

AsiaOne has contacted the police for more information.

This is a developing story.
