A CAR burst into flames in the car park of a Radcliffe pub.

Firefighters from Whitefield Fire Station were called out to the incident at the Lock Keeper pub in Radcliffe shortly after 9.30am.

Smoke had been coming from the Citroen C3 for a while before it burst into flames upon arrival at the pub.

Bethany Whitbread was driving the car, and managed to get herself and her two children out of the car before firefighters arrived shortly afterwards.

She was taking her children to Wacky Warehouse at the time.

She said: "I don't have a clue how it happened or what happened.

"It was just crazy. One minute it was fine and the next it was up in flames. The kids were panicking."

It is thought that the fire was caused by an electrical fault within the vehicle.
