A motorist had a lucky escape this afternoon in Andover when her car caught fire whilst driving towards the town centre.
The incident happened around 2.45pm when a motorist following the vehicle, a red Citroen, noticed smoke coming from under the car.
As it pulled up at the traffic lights in front of the Station Inn on Bridge Street, the driver was alerted and the fire crew called.
Nobody was injured and the road was re-opened around 3.15pm.
It’s at times like this.. that it makes one proud to live in Andover
It was my husband and another driver who stopped and got the lady out of the car, called the fire brigade and used their car fire extinguishers on the fire
whilst waiting for the fire service to arrive. My Superhero!!!
Well done guys..x
Thank your hubby for me I was the other motorist who assisted.
