Firefighters were scrambled to the M60 motorway this afternoon following reports of a car on fire during the soaring heat.
Around 4pm on Saturday (August 13), firefighters from Offeron, Stockport and Whitehill fire stations were called to the M60, near Sharston Link and where it joins with the M56 clockwise, to bring the vehicle fire under control.
Officers from the Highways Agency were first on scene and kept the vehicle occupants safe. One witness at the scene told the M.E.N they saw two people safely recovered from the car.
