A man has been badly burned in a car fire at a petrol station in Dudley.
The 20-year-old was seriously injured in the incident, involving a Jeep, at the Texaco service station on Himley Road just after 7pm on Thursday.
He remained seriously ill in hospital on Friday afternoon as residents tried to come to terms with what had happened.
Detectives are trying to establish the cause of the fire, and are trying to identify the occupants of a VW Golf which was also at the petrol station at the time.
Photos from the scene showed a damaged Jeep on the back of a recovery truck, while burned wood could be seen in the corner of the forecourt.
