Terrifying footage shows the moment an ambulance explodes into a fireball just moments after dropping off a 91-year-old elderly patient.
David and Marilyn Brinklow were having a cup of tea when they heard a huge bang and saw flames engulfing their front garden.
Only minutes earlier, a private ambulance had dropped off the couple's 91-year-old wheelchair-bound neighbour after a hospital stay.
Footage shows two care workers wheeling the woman to her home in Barton-under-Needwood, Staffordshire, at around 1.45pm on March 14.
A worried passerby can be seen alerting one of the carers after they spotted smoke pouring from the engine.
Minutes later the vehicle explodes with such force that the ambulance roof was ripped off and flew 50ft into the air before crashing through David and Marilyn's garage.
