VIDEO: Pair have lucky escape after car caught fire as they were driving along road
With pictures and video
Byline: Andy Crick
A man and woman had a lucky escape after their car caught fire as they were DRIVING along the road.
Quick-thinking workers from a waste management firm travelling behind them spotted the flames coming out.
They appeared from underneath the white, Kia Stonic hatchback.
The workers lept out and alerted the female driver and male passenger inside of the emergency.
The man - in a red T-shirt - stupidly went to fetch something from the boot before getting out of the way.
It happened in Luton on Friday (13 Oct) - where 1,500 cars were destroyed by fire at the town’s airport last Tuesday (10 Oct).
The men from Boxell Removals beeped their horn and screamed ‘Get out your car, get out your car’ at them.
One jumped out when they got stuck in traffic and ran towards the burning car.
He shouted: “Get out.
“You car is on fire man, underneath.”
In the one minute and 54 second video, the pair can be seen standing by the side of the Crawley Green Road, in Luton as the fire takes hold.
Cops then stop traffic in both directions and firefighters turn up to tackle the inferno.
The 19-plate car is listed on the DVLA website as being petrol.
A Boxell Removals spokesperson said: “Friday the 13th hit this couple hard.”
Local Alfie Clarke said: “Luton has a thing with cars on fire.”
Another said: “How does that even happen.”
One - named Robyn - said: “I was today years old when I realised cars on fire don’t blow up, like they do in movies.”
Shan said: “That’s actually scary and it’s a new car.”
Another - called Becky - joked: “With the price of shopping, I would have grabbed it and all.
“Glad they're safe though.”
A Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “On Friday, 13 October at around 14.24pm, we were called to reports of a vehicle on fire on Crawley Green Road, Luton.
“One fire engine from Luton attended the incident, and firefighters used breathing apparatus, hose reels and a thermal imaging camera to safely extinguish the fire.
“A scene safety zone was implemented by Bedfordshire Police alongside the fire service.
“Fire Control received five repeat calls to this incident.”
Bedfordshire Police have been contacted for comment.
