Car fire delays traffic 28/4/11
A car which went on fire at Stornoway’s tea time rush hour added to the chaos affecting traffic in recent days.
Long tailbacks resulted in delaying traffic for about half an hour after part of Macaulay Road was blocked around 5.30pm.
A fire crew hosed the flames coming from the engine and cleared debris from the carriageway.
The fire damaged car was later pulled off the main road onto Assaye Place.
Motorists have been used to queues with extensive road resurfacing works being undertaken around Stornoway over the past fortnight.
