Motorists reportedly were forced to line up and pay to get out of a chaotic fire scene in England's Birkenhead Tunnel after a taxi exploded. One witness said panicking drivers had to line up as long as 10 minutes while toll operators continued to charge vehicles as flames engulfed the taxi, the Liverpool Echo said. A motorist said the tunnel emergency phone wouldn't work although Merseytravel, the tunnel's operator, insisted the phones were all working.
