A MOTHER evacuated her home because she feared a blazing car would explode.
She carried her young son to a neighbour's house after she spotted the stolen green Ford Fiesta on fire in a nearby field.
Thieves had abandoned the car off Berwick Close, Tyldesley, before setting it alight shortly after midnight last Thursday. Firefighters put out the blaze.
