Bury Road, which connects the A14 and Norwich Road leading to Ipswich town centre, closed as a fire crew deployed from Princes Street extinguished the blaze in a black Saab.

The fire is believed to have been caused by a mechanical fault.

Suffolk Constabulary said no one was injured in the incident, which happened just before 7pm.
