A CAR which was gutted by fire has been removed and a road closure lifted - but there is still a warning for drivers.

Drivers have been warned to drive carefully after the car spilled fuel and oil on to the Wyche Road between Malvern and Colwall.

The driver managed to escape the car uninjured but the car has been completely destroyed by the flames.

Worcestershire Highways teams have put granules on top of the fuel to soak up the spillage.

A spokesman said: "The vehicle has been removed and Wyche Road has been reopened.

"There has been a fuel spillage however and granules have been placed to soak up any fuel/oil.

"Please drive carefully."

Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue and West Mercia Police were at the scene.

The road was closed for almost four hours.
