"One car had been in collision with a tree and fencing and was well alight. The vehicle had been abandoned on our arrival.

"Crews used two hose reels and one breathing apparatus wearer. The fire service drone from Ledbury was requested to assist with a search for the occupant who may have been injured in the collision.
