"THREE people were burnt alive when the car they were travelling in crashed along Loyang Avenue last night and burst into a giant fireball.
No details about the victims were available, but police said they were killed on the spot.
The Subaru car they were in was headed towards Changi Village around 9pm when the accident occurred.
Police said it skidded off the road and into a tree along the road divider before going up in flames.
Singapore Civil Defence Force officers, who arrived on the scene shortly after police were called, took 15 minutes to put out the blaze.
They then discovered the charred bodies of the three victims. Paramedics later pronounced them dead.
Witnesses said the blaze was so big that it could be seen from several traffic light stops away.
Said one, Madam Rohana Kahar, 37, who was headed to her home in Pasir Ris at the time: 'The flames reached the height of a tree. I also heard several explosions.'
Police are investigating."

Witnessed this last night as I headed back from Changi Cargo Complex. Please do not speed. Your tires will not be the only thing burning.
Another reminder of how fragile life can be.
RIP whoever is involved.
And to everyone else who is still alive. Go do that thing you need to do! Don't wait till it's too late.
