Updated: 2016-01-31-11:09
A 12-wheeler trailer truck caught fire while cruising along Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City, before dawn Sunday.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority’s Metrobase said the trailer truck transporting dozens of boxes of junk food caught fire at past 5 a.m. along Katipunan Avenue, near the Ateneo de Manila University.
Senior Fire Officer 4 Renato Gallego of the Bureau of Fire Protection in Quezon City said the fire came from the rear end of the truck’s container.
Gallego said that the fire could have been caused by the container’s electrical wiring.
Traffic along the avenue was affected by the incident as MMDA workers collect charred debris from the truck.
