Firefighters have tackled a car blaze on the A55 in Flintshire.

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service received a call shortly after 2.20pm on Monday reporting a car ablaze on the A55 westbound just after Junction 33 (Flint).

Two fire crews were sent to the scene - one each from Flint and Holywell - as the incident led to congestion in the area.

He told the Leader: "I didn't see it ignite but we could see smoke billowing out of it and as we got closer we could see the flames."
