Proton Tiara on fire

A Proton Tiara caught fire 200m before the Penang Bridge toll coming from Butterworth at 5:30 pm earlier today. I was a few cars behind when it happened and I saw all the action going on. A fire truck was rushing to the scene from the Prai fire station nearby. Firemen trying to put off the fire, police directing the ever buzy traffic, curious on-lookers stoping by the shoulder to catch a glimpse of the action.

Thanks to blogging, now you can also see what I saw.

From a hundred metres, you can see the smoke billowing.

A little closer. A fire truck just arrived and firemen rushing to put off the fire.

Fire under control. At one point the whole trunk of the car was up in flames.

Yup, it's a Proton Tiara alright.
