SINGAPORE, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- Six vehicles were involved in a pile-up in eastern Singapore on Thursday night, leading to two cars catching fire, local media reported on Friday.

The drivers of the five cars, aged between 27 and 41, and a 74-year-old taxi driver were "not injured," according to the reports.
