Van erupts in flames along SLE, no injuries reported

Van erupted in flames along SLE towards BKE

A van was engulfed in flames along Seletar Expressway (SLE) at Upper Thomson Road exit on Sunday (7 June) afternoon.

An MS News reader shared a video, taken at 2.52pm, of a van sitting stationary at a road divider.

Fierce flames engulfed the vehicle, sending dark smoke billowing into the sky.

Just ahead, vehicles were moving slowly along the Upper Thomson exit lane.

A black SUV, with its hazard lights on, and a white sedan were seen stationary on the road.

It remains unclear whether either vehicle was involved in the fire or whether a separate incident caused them to stop.

Additionally, a light-blue van was parked further ahead in the same lane as the burning vehicle.

Two individuals were standing on the roadside, a safe distance away from the burning van.

SCDF alerted to fire, no injuries reported
