A couple had an unwanted explosive end to an anniversary getaway.
Trevor and Debbie Trout were lucky to escape unscathed when their ten-year-old Vauxhall Zafira burst into flames on the A1.
They were on their way home from an overnight stay at Stoke Rochford Hall in Lincolnshire to mark their 25th wedding anniversary.
Maths teacher Mr Trout, of Bassingham Crescent, Tiptree, works at Ramsey College in Halstead.
