Two vans caught fire on expressways in separate incidents on Wednesday and on Tuesday.
In both cases, the drivers and passengers managed to escape unscathed after passing motorists had sounded their horns and shouted at them to get out of their vehicles.
The incident on Tuesday happened at about 4.30pm along the Central Expressway towards the city. Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers extinguished the flames within 15 minutes.
