Default NSW Police BMW opps

One of the most expensive police cars used in Australia has gone up in flames following a chase in north-eastern New South Wales.

Key points:
A police car, worth around $200,000, catches fire after parking in long grass at the side of the road following a pursuit
A witness says it was extraordinary how quickly the vehicle went up in flames
A motoring expert says it was probably due to the diesel particulate filter in burn-off mode
The turbo diesel BMW highway patrol car had been pursuing a sedan being driven by a teenager near Tweed Heads.

The chase ended in long grass on the edge of the Pacific Highway at Chinderah after road spikes were laid, puncturing the fleeing vehicle's tyres.
