A car was destroyed in a roadside blaze this afternoon.

Firefighters were called to the A21 in Lamberhurst just before 4pm.

They arrived to find the car engulfed by flames on the London-bound carriageway of the Lamberhurst bypass.

Crews wearing breathing apparatus doused the flames using compressed air foam from a high-pressure hose.

The vehicle was destroyed in the fire, which took half an hour to put out.

No one is thought to have been injured.
