A car violently caught fire on Mount Pleasant Road this afternoon, at around 4:30-5pm. No one was harmed in the blast though the road remains closed due to damage from flames.
Firemen told an Exeposé reporter that a female driver exited the vehicle after the car began smoking. The car erupted a few moments later. The driver remains unidentified.
Police have sectioned off the area.
Firefighters remain at the site of the incident as they wait for the petrol to burn out. They must assess how hot the underneath of the car is before removing the wreckage and are using sand to cool down the affected area.
Highway maintenance have arrived to start cleaning debris surrounding the car.
