A photographer emailed the Worthing Herald images that show a burnt out car on the seafront this morning (Friday, February 16) with broken windows and a severely damaged front.
A spokesperson for West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service said: “We were called at 10.06pm on Thursday 15 February to reports of a fire involving a car on Brighton Road in Worthing. Joint Fire Control mobilised a fire engine from Worthing to the scene and upon arrival firefighters found one vehicle well alight.

The road was closed to allow firefighters to work safely. Fortunately there were no casualties as a result of this incident which is believed to have begun accidentally.”
