A driver had to leap from his stretch limousine after it burst into flames.

Tony Banks, from Shoreham, was trying to jump start the vehicle with the help of a friend when it caught fire in a layby off Shoreham Road in Upper Beeding at about 10pm yesterday. (mon).

The flames quickly spread to the second car. Both vehicles were destroyed but the drivers were not injured.

Other vehicles were unable to pass because of thick black smoke billowing across the road.

The blaze was put out by firefighters from Shoreham and Steyning.
