Seafront shunt leaves car alight

A Mini caught fire after colliding with a Range Rover on Brighton seafront.

Revellers at the Amsterdam bar in Marine Parade looked on as firefighters tackled the blaze.

Four people got out of the car when it began to plume smoke after what was described as a minor collision.

The car was engulfed by flames, causing several 999 calls from bystanders from 10.17pm onwards.

Firefighters from Roedean Community Fire Station took just 15 minutes to put the fire out.

The Mini was destroyed, but no-one was injured.
