MI A truck driver has been praised by police for driving a burning truckload of straw away from a busy street.
Neil Marlow ran from his house in Stanhope, Kent when he saw the parked Mercedes-Benz on fire and drove it on to a nearby grass verge.
Marlow says: "You don't really have time to think in a sit uation like that, you just get on and do what you have to do."
The truck belongs to Marlow's brother who runs a butchers shop in the town.
Kent police say there is no evidence of arson in this case and they are no longer investigating the blaze.
