A car has been totally destroyed after it burst into flames in a busy retail park in Cardiff. The fire broke out shortly before 12.30pm on Friday outside the Costco store in the Capital Retail Park in the Leckwith area of the city.
Firefighters spent almost an hour at the scene after a black BMW went up in flames as it was surrounded by other cars. While nobody was injured in the blaze it did spread to a white BMW that was parked next to it. You can get the latest WalesOnline newsletters emailed to you directly for free by signing up here.
