Resident Grant King was looking on as the Holden Commodore went up in flames on King Street, just below the Princes Highway Overpass, about 8am. 

“We smelt he smoke and my wife heard a couple of bangs,” said Mr King. 

“The car was totally engulfed in minutes, and destroyed.”

Firefighters were called to the site and the fire was quickly extinguished.

The fire sent a large amount of black smoke into the air. The cause of the blaze is unknown.
