"Further information was that someone was screaming for help, that there were electrical wires all over the road and the vehicle was starting to catch fire," fire services said on X.

"Upon arrival, Firefighters confirmed the lone occupant was able to exit the vehicle on their own and the vehicle was on its side in the ditch on the west side of the road and was on fire."
