A lorry caught fire in Lornie Road yesterday morning, causing a massive jam all the way to Braddell Road.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force was alerted to the fire at 7.35am and extinguished it with a hosereel.

No injuries were reported.

Sales executive Ryan Lee, 30, passed by the scene on the way to work at about 7.50am.

"There was very thick smoke coming out of the burning vehicle, and only two lanes were passable," he said.
