A FATHER has described the horrifying moment his teenage son ran towards him in a ball of flames after a game with petrol went tragically wrong.
The 15-year-old boy from St Ouen, who does not want to be named, suffered second and third-degree burns after accidentally setting himself on fire at his family’s holiday home in France last week.
The first thing his father knew about the accident was when his son, a keen motocross rider, came running towards him on fire.

Petrol is not a product to play with....
