Car ablaze after crash

Seven firefighters responded with two appliances, and worked diligently to bring the fire under control.

Firefighters then concentrated on cooling down the engine bay and monitoring for any potential risk of a flare up by using thermal imaging cameras.

Deniliquin Police and NSW Ambulance paramedics also attended, with Edward River Council staff providing traffic control.

The car had to be towed from the scene.

Witnesses report seeing the burned car travelling along Crispe St, and indicating to turn into Harlfuur St.

The car, driven by a woman, then reportedly crashed into the front of a car stopped in Harfleur St to give way to her.
