Dramatic pictures captured the moment passers-by stopped to help after a car caught fire outside Portfield retail park in Chichester.
Witness Jennifer Rowbotham said a breakdown driver and a Rolls-Royce staff member were quick to douse the burning car with fire extinguishers on Friday afternoon.
She said: "Flames were visible under the bonnet and the bumper melted onto the road.
