Man Killed In Car Explosion At Gwandalan

BY IAN CROUCH

Neighbours have described the harrowing scene which confronted them after a car exploded at Gwandalan claiming the life of a 63-year-old man.

Emergency services were called to Quinalup Street just after 7.00am on Sundaywhere they found the car ablaze and neighbours performing CPR on Alan Bull - despite all their efforts he sadly died at the scene.

It's believed a gas bottle inside the car sparked the massive explosion which could be heard and felt kilometres away.

This witness has told Nine News there was frantic effort to save Mr Bull from the inferno.

"He was lying in the driveway bloodied. His son and a neighbour were trying to drag him away from the burning wreck," he said.

Police are treating the incident as a tragic accident.
