Three taxicab employees pushing a broken-down vehicle to start it
gave up and ran after the cab burst into flames.
No one was hurt in the accident on North Road near the Dolphin Roundabout
early Feb. 4. Once they arrived, it took firefighters about 15 minutes to
quell the flames.
The LPG-driven Toyota Corona had broken down near Toscano Co. and taxi
company employees were trying to get the car to start when flames sprouted
from under the hood. The driver and two pushers fled, fearing the LPG tank
would explode. It didn’t.
