Firefighters were called to tackle a car fire this morning outside a tarmac plant.

One pump was sent to Lafarge Tarmac, in Watery Lane, Westwell around 4.45am.

Crews tackled the flames in a Vauxhall Zafira after it caught light as the driver - a workman at the plant - arrived for work.

The fire is believed to have been caused by an electrical fault in the car.

Firefighters used a high pressure hose reel and breathing apparatus to extinguish the flames.

The driver, believed to be in his 60s, was not injured.
