Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) has responded to a car fire that has partially blocked eastbound lanes of the Lane Cove tunnel at North Ryde.

Passing motorists attempted to assist the driver in putting out the fire in the vehicle’s engine compartment, however it reignited a short time later and flames engulfed the car, on approach to the tunnel.
