The driver of the vehicle, a woman, and a male occupant of Barrouallie were too distressed to speak to the media after firefighters extinguished the blaze.

A corporal, the highest-ranked officer among the team of firefighters that responded from Kingstown, said he was not authorised to speak to the media.

He, however, said that none of the occupants of the vehicle was hurt as a result of the blaze.
