AN electric car caught afire at MovieTowne, Port of Spain, basement car park on August 2, but was extinguished without further incident.

The cineplex owner and chairman of the board of MovieTowne Holdings, Derek Chin, told Newsday he got the report that the car caught afire in the underground car park around 11 am.

“Everything was dealt with by the security. They used the power hoses and doused it there because it could have gotten worse and spread. It was quite a good fire. The car was totally destroyed.”
