NewsTranscript
00:00You were caught driving a car while Edsa Ortigas flyover was being overhauled last night.
00:06The authorities are now investigating this case.
00:09Maris Umali is a witness.
00:15The car was on fire in the area of Edsa Ortigas flyover northbound.
00:20Some motorists were stopped and the cars were stopped
00:24before the car was completely destroyed.
00:27The CCTV footage shows the driver getting out of the car after being hit by another motorist.
00:32He turned his back to the car and approached it first.
00:35But the driver didn't drive again and kept walking away
00:39while the car was still on fire.
00:42The area was also covered by thick smoke.
00:45The firemen arrived shortly after to put out the fire.
00:48There were also police officers in the area.
00:50The area was also on fire.
00:52According to the driver, he was on his way home from Pasay by a motorist
00:57and he was told that the car was running out of gas.
01:00He was stopped and he was just thrown out of the window.
01:03According to the Quezon City Police District Station 12,
01:06the driver of the car was hit on his left and right foot during the incident.
01:11The first aid, the medical team of the MMDA, immediately took action.
01:15Currently, the PNP and Bureau of Fire Protection are still investigating
01:19the cause of the fire in the car.
01:21No one was injured in the incident,
01:23even though it caused heavy traffic to Edsa Shaw Boulevard.
01:27According to the Automobile Association of the Philippines or AAP,
01:30there are three possible causes of the fire in the car.
01:33The first is the cause of the gas leak.
01:35The second is the electrical fire or the cause of the currents inside.
01:39And the third is
01:40possibly the catalytic converter overheating or the engine overheating.
01:45Usually, a vehicle fire is caused by a modification that is not proper.
01:52It's like a gasoline fire because it has a gasoline trail while rolling on the flyover
01:57and there's a gas fire on the ground.
02:00It means to say a fuel line has leaked or even by mere gravity
02:05that the tank was emptying onto the road and it's leaking.
02:10Remember, if the vehicle is smoking, don't continue driving.
02:15There should be a presence of mind.
02:17Stop the vehicle.
02:19Don't forget to handbrake so that no one else will get into an accident.
02:23Get out of the car.
02:24Don't wait.
02:25Get everybody out of the car.
02:26Later, your cell phone, your belongings.
02:30I think the driver did a very nice job of exiting his vehicle on time.
02:34If you know how to extinguish a fire, use a fire extinguisher.
02:38But in order to avoid a fire, the AAP said,
02:41there should be regular preventive maintenance.
02:44It's also dangerous to do it yourself in an electrical and fuel line,
02:47so it's better to do it with a trained professional.
