Police said a male driver lost control of a Holden Commodore on Barham Road near Barham about 10am on Wednesday.
The car travelled down an embankment and struck a concrete storm water drain before bursting into flames.
Soon after, a 29-year-old man driving a ute stopped to help and used a fire extinguisher from his vehicle to prevent the flames from spreading further.
