An eyewitness reported the same. He said: “I saw two people running down the road. But they did not look dressed for running.
“And then I went round the corner and saw the red Vauxhall on fire.”
He added: “The car was just starting to pop as the fire brigade arrived. I was trying to stop people from going closer.(Image: Public submission)
“It did start to go up. I was concerned the fuel tank was going to go.”
