Mr Spiers alighted from his car to replenish the tank, and, whilst so doing soma of the petrol found its way on to the road. A bystander (who was viewing the operation lighted a cigarette and without realising tho danger threw the match to tho ground. In an instant that portion of the road just at the rear of the car was a. mass of flames, and for a while it looked as if the car would receive serious damage.
