Additionally, the burnt vehicle's front part was completely damaged from the incident. It was also removed from the Skyway to control the traffic flow where the incident happened.

The management of the Skyway has yet to release their statement about the incident.

The Metro Manila Skyway has been the site of several major accidents, including the 2013 Don Mariano Transit bus crash that killed 19 people after the vehicle fell off the elevated roadway due to overspeeding and worn-out tires.

In 2020, a steel girder from the Skyway extension project collapsed in Muntinlupa City, killing one person and injuring four others.

More recently, in 2024, a motorcycle rider counterflowing on Skyway Stage 3 in Quezon City collided head-on with an SUV, resulting in the rider's death and the SUV driver being cleared of liability.
