According to the Daily Record, emer- gency services raced to Main Street in Springfield, Fife, after the alarm was raised at around 8.20pm. Fire crews scrambled to the scene after the vehicle quickly became engulfed in flames. Dramatic pictures taken from the scene show several fighters battling the blaze. Huge plumes of smoke can be seen billowing out of the taxi while shocked
locals watch on. It’s currently unclear how the fire started but it’s not believed anyone was injured as a result. Fire crews confirmed the blaze had been extinguished by around 9pm. A spokesperson from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We were called at 8.20pm to a taxi on fire at the address. We sent one appliance from Cupar and we have now extinguished the fire.”
LEEDS PHV DRIVER ANGRY WITH POLICE FOR NOT HELPING AFTER HIT AND RUN ON HIS CAR
A Leeds cPHV driver is “angry” with the police for not being ‘helpful’ after his car was hit by another driver while his family were in the vehicle. According to LeedsLive, the father-of- six had parked up , leaving his wife and four-year-old son inside his PHV while he went to pray at a nearby mosque. A van smashed into the side of his car, giving the pair inside a nasty shock and an ugly scrape along the rear left side. Mohammad Aslam Daqeeq is unhappy with West Yorkshire Police for not accessing nearby CCTV footage to find the van’s vehicle registration plate. He now faces either £500 bill for the
repairs or high charges from his insur- ance company. Mohammad’s Toyota Verso was hit by the pickup van on Friday, June 3 at 1.34pm, and he is desperately trying to track down the driver. Mohammad, 38, from Selby, said: “My wife couldn’t see the registration plate as the van was driving very fast. “When I came to my car from the mosque I was like ‘What?! What is this?!’ I did not feel good at all.” He was able to acquire CCTV footage of the van as it passed his car but the footage shows only the side of the vehicle and not its number plates.

Mohammad said: “The police should help me find the registration number, there are many cameras. Why are they not helping me? There are thousands of cameras everywhere.” He’s saying on top of the damage and his wife and son’s distress, his insur- ance company is now also going to charge him because he doesn’t have the van’s registration. He said: “My insurance is also telling me that they are not going to give me a courtesy car as I can’t give them the registration number. It’s not fair.” On West Yorkshire Police’s FAQ page, it says: “If you did not manage to note down the registration of a vehicle, you can still report the accident but unfor- tunately there are no further enquiries that can be made.”
