It is the second major incident on Balby Road in two days.

Yesterday, there were traffic delays after a yellow Mini burst into flames at the side of the carriageway leading into Doncaster.

Emergency services, including police and fire crews, briefly closed off the road to deal with the incident.

Video from the scene showed flames leaping through the windscreen of the vehicle, parked at the side of Balby Road.
