MANILA, Philippines -- (UPDATE) Three persons safely got out of a vehicle that caught fire near the Bicutan exit of the South Luzon Expressway Wednesday morning.
The Philippine National Construction Company’s Operations Center reported that a Toyota Avanza (not a maroon Mitsubishi Spacewagon with plate number ZRN-863 as earlier reported) caught fire around 10:40 a.m.
The incident caused heavy traffic on the southbound lane of the SLEX all the way to the C5.
The fire was put out and the vehicle removed from the scene some 40 minutes later. But it took hours before the traffic normalized.
The driver of the car, Roel Urbano, told the PNCC he saw a spark coming from below the steering wheel, prompting him and his two passengers to immediately get out. Moments later, flames engulfed the vehicle.

Naku pansin nyo ba yung mga installers ng mga accessories shop lahat yan doon sila kumuha ng hot wire sa steering wheel base, tapos lahat ng mga ballast, power booster and other controller box doon nila binabaon sa ilalim ng dash board at steering wheel.

baka may milagrong ginagawa ang SLEX sa random victims niya. yung tipong may sumpa hehe!

i'd blame toyota for that kung toyota nga may kasalanan for releasing a defective unit like that, else eh i'd blame the owner if they modified anything related sa "pagkakaroon ng spark" kaya nagkaganon auto niya..

tama this is interesting, it sparked my curiousity
