According to an eyewitness account, the yet-to-be-identified driver was being chased by police when he had an accident and his car caught fire instantly. He was said to be returning from a filling station and had several gallons of fuel in the car.
“It happened at about 12:37am today on top of the waterlines flyover in PH.
I was driving back from the filling station where I went to get some fuel for my car because at night the queue is less.
