The moment an electric car suddenly burst into flames on a driveway has been captured on CCTV, as the vehicle sparked a raging blaze which engulfed a van and a £550,000 family home. The Mail has more.
The shocking images show a fireball tearing through vehicles outside the £550,000 house in Chandler’s Ford, Hampshire, in the early hours of this morning.
The car was parked on the driveway and was charging overnight when it caught fire at around 5am.
Photographs taken after the blaze reveal the shocking extent of the damage, including the wreckage of three vehicles – one of which is a van. The front of the house was also badly burned.
Aside from the van, all the vehicles on the drive have been reduced to charred remains – but it is unclear what type of vehicles they are.
The home on a quiet road belongs to a young family, according to neighbours.
Thankfully, the family were able to get out safely and no casualties have been reported.
One neighbour said: “I was probably the last to hear about it on the block. The fire was going when I got up, and the house was beginning to catch.
“Flames were coming out the door and window. I was frightened for the young family.”
