Police say the man remains in hospital and no arrests have yet been made.

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.
