NORTH YORKSHIRE, England — Two officers escaped uninjured after their patrol car caught fire while responding to an emergency call.

The car suffered a “catastrophic engine failure” Saturday and burst into flames, the BBC reported.

Sgt. Paul Cording tweeted photos of the blaze saying it was a “lucky escape” for his colleagues.

The officers returned to work a couple of hours later in a replacement patrol vehicle.
