Father and son burnt in Thornlie car explosion

as posted here

A Perth father and son are in hospital with serious burns after a car they were working on exploded.

The son, 21, received burns to 75 per cent of his body while his 43-year-old father received burns to 40 per cent of his body.

The pair were working on a car in a semi-enclosed carport in Thornlie about 5.30pm yesterday when a spark ignited fuel vapours under the bonnet causing a flash fire explosion.

Police were first on the scene, placing the father in a shower while the son was put under a garden hose to alleviate the pain.

Both men remain in Royal Perth Hospital this morning.
