would you rather burn to death or get eaten by lions?
Quote:
A mother and two children leapt from their burning car in Longleat Safari Park. "It was a situation of - what do you do? Do you get out of the car because you're on fire? And they're telling you to get back in the car, so that was the dilemma."
Ms Clements, of Kingswood, Gloucestershire, sounded the car's horn to alert rangers who managed to rescue the family while clearing the animals from the area.
She added: "Unfortunately they were shouting to us: 'Get back in the car, do not get out of the car'.
"The lions were cleared from the enclosure and the safari park was closed. A route was cleared for the fire engine, which arrived quickly and extinguished the fire.
