It was a spectacular scene on the 401 on Thursday night.

A BMW was travelling on the westbound lanes just past Kennedy Road at around 10:30 when it became engulfed in flames.

Fortunately, the driver was able to pull over onto the shoulder.

Fire crews were able to make quick work of the fire of the highway.

No injuries were reported.

NewsTalk 1010 listener Dayne Jackson who was on the highway at the time of the vehicle fire was able to snap some photos.
