This is the moment flames engulfed a van by a busy road junction during morning rush hour.

Pictures show the parked vehicle well ablaze in Benenden Road, Wainscott.

One fire engine was sent to Frindsbury Hill, close to the The Sans Pareil roundabout, just before 7.30am.

The road was shut while firefighters were at the scene and thick black plumes of smoke could be seen billowing from the charred van.

Crews used a hose reel jet to put the blaze out and the incident was declared over at 8.16am

The cause is believed to be accidental.
