A car caught fire and burst into flames on the approach to Freckleton yesterday afternoon (Wednesday, March 31).

Fire crews rushed to the scene where the car - believed to be a Citroen Picasso - was engulfed in fire in a lay-by in Preston New Road, close to Brades Lane, at around 12.30pm.

Motorists driving past reported seeing the vehicle "suddenly burst into flames" and said it was "well alight" before fire crews arrived.
