A parked car in Málaga was suddenly ripped apart after a butane bottle in the back exploded.

The incident occured on the 12th on Calle Caleta de Vélez within the Polígono Industrial (trading estate) Santa Cruz around 16.45h, in Málaga.

Officers from the Policía Local and the fire service rushed to the scene only to find the back end of the car completely destroyed.

Fortunately, nobody was injured.

The hypothesis points to the gas bottle exploding owing to the high temperatures in the car; Málaga has been experiencing temperatures over 40ºC at the time owing to supercharged winds coming from the interior.
