£215K McLaren supercar bursts into flames

A female motorist managed to escape the blaze on Blyth Road, Lincoln, on Sunday.

She made sure she’d retrieved her shopping from the £215,000 car before she left at around 12.20pm.

‘We could see black smoke in the distance, and as we turned around the corner there was a blazing McLaren right in front of us,’ said eyewitness Becky Gagen, 45, who was travelling with her family.

The mum from Doncaster added: ‘What made us laugh was the fact that she’d got her shopping out of the car and emptied it – making sure that dinner was in the bag was obviously her first priority.

‘She shouted at us to stay away as it had a full tank of petrol and could have exploded at any moment.’

Mrs Gagen said she felt guilty about taking a photo following the blaze.

She added: ‘This woman’s week had clearly been ruined, and I didn’t exactly want to compound her misery by being there to photograph it.
