Joyriders crashed and set fire to a car a week after it was bought by a Mid Sussex teenager who had just passed his test.
Firefighters last night put out the blaze at Hackenden Lane, East Grinstead, after the F-registered Renault 5 careered down an embankment and into some trees.
A brigade spokesman said: "The young man had only had the car a week. He'd just passed his test."
