Tragic Moment A Woman Rushes To Save Fiancé In Burning Car Also Gets Engulfed In Flames

SINGAPORE - Video footage has emerged showing the moment a young woman ran towards a burning car in Tanjong Pagar Road to save her fiance and his four friends trapped inside.

In the footage obtained by The Straits Times, the white BMW M4 coupe is seen skidding for two seconds at around 5.40am last Saturday (Feb 13), the second day of the Chinese New Year.

It then spins out of control before slamming into a shophouse further away.

About 20 seconds later, Ms. Raybe Oh Siew Huey appears in the video. She is seen running towards the burning car and right into the flames.

She emerges 10 seconds later, covered in flames, and is seen running towards some shophouses opposite the road.

The CCTV camera footage also shows a white car pulling up by the side of the road, several meters from the crash.

The driver gets out and at first, runs towards the burning car before turning left towards a row of shophouses.

He is later seen trying to help Ms. Oh douse the fire on her clothes. At one point, a woman is also seen trying to help her.

Ms. Oh, 26, a former air stewardess, is still in critical condition at the Singapore General Hospital. She is reported to have suffered burns to 80 percent of her body.

All five occupants in the car died. Mr Eugene Yap, 29, Mr. Elvin Tan Yong Hao, 28, Mr Wilson Teo Qi Xiang, 26, were also with Aviva Financial Advisers, and Mr. Gary Wong Hong Chieh, 29, used to work there.
