Mata becomes fireman



SINGAPORE - A driver died while trapped in a rented car that caught fire after a collision in a carpark on Friday (Jan 7). The collision occurred in the open carpark at Block 42 Cassia Crescent, next to the Geylang Police Post.

A resident of the block, who gave her name only as Madam Ter, 47, said she was at home when she first noticed white smoke filling the air at around 3pm.

She and her husband went downstairs, where they saw a white Mazda 3 had crashed into a parked car. The car's bonnet was crushed and its cabin was filled with smoke, she said. It was not ablaze at that point.

Madam Ter, an administrator, said: "Initially, we weren't sure if there was someone still in the car, so we kept knocking on the window.

"Only when we heard movement in the car did we realise that there was still someone in there."

Alarmed, she asked her husband to call the police while she raced upstairs to get neighbours to help.

Mr Wilkinson Tan, 47, a sales manager and a resident of the block, said: "My neighbours were calling for help and asked me to get a pail full of water to extinguish the flames.

"But by the time we could organise a response, we heard a loud explosion and the car burst into flames."

Mr Tan said a police officer had attempted to pull the driver out of the car but to no avail.

The fire lasted for 15 to 20 minutes, before firefighters arrived. The fire was put out at about 3.40pm.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) paramedic.

If PMDs had not been banned the driver could have rented a PMD instead and the risk of dying in a fire would have been considerably reduced.
 
So, will the deceased's family members be sending him to the crematorium for another round of burning?

Yes because he has not been reduced to ashes yet. However the crematorium will give a discount because the process has been partially completed.
 
Yet more evidence that cars are far more likely to catch fire compared to PMDs.
