A POLICE car burst in to flames as it was being driven by an officer.
Firefighters were called to Captain Folds Road in Little Hulton at 12.40pm yesterday after the driver saw smoke coming from under the bonnet.
It is believed a gasket had blown on the engine and caused oil to spill on to a hot exhaust manifold.
Minor damage was caused to the engine bay of the car. The officer was uninjured.
