YEOVIL AREA NEWS: Car fire near Cartgate roundabout

FIREFIGHTERS were called out this morning (Sunday, April 17, 2016) to deal with a car on fire on the A303 on the outskirts of Yeovil.

The alarm was raised at just before 11.30am to the problem on the westbound carriageway just after the Cartgate roundabout heading towards South Petherton.

Two fire engines from Martock and Yeovil were mobilised and on arrival they confirmed that one car was well alight.

“The fire was caused accidentally by a mechanical fault and we left duty of care with the police who were with the owner waiting for recovery,” said a spokesman for the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service.

Police were in attendance to help with traffic duties, while highways department representatives were called out due to oil and fuel on the road.
