The driver exited the vehicle quickly, however, 3 passengers received severe burns. 

The injured men were taken to the May Pen Hospital for treatment. 

Regional Director of the South-East Regional Health Authority, Errol Greene told Irie FM News that one of the men who received burns to over 80 per cent of his body, was sent to the KPH.
