Road turns to molten tarmac and sticks to tyres and flip flops in heatwave

A road turned to molten tarmac and stuck to cars and glued a woman’s flip flops to the asphalt as the summer scorcher reached sweltering new heights.

Shocking pictures show tyres coated in sticky tarmac from a residential road in Cannock, Staffs.

The town sizzled as temperatures soared to more than 30C (86F) over the weekend.

One woman was almost hit by a car when her flip flops became glued to the sizzling highway.
