M13 Eastbound

Traffic came to a standstill this morning at about 8h30, on the M13 East Bound near Blaire Athol off ramp, due to a bus that had caught alight. The bus was traveling on the M13 east bound when the driver noticed smoke bellowing from the engine. He quickly took evasive procedure and was able to stop the bus off the road away from harm of other motor vehicles. With in minutes the bus was engulfed in flames.


Fire Department was quickly assembled to the scene, and was able to put the fire out. No body was injured, as the bus was empty at this time. Traffic was backlog all the way to Dawn cliff in Cowie's Hill; some motorist took it upon them self's to reverse back up the freeway to take another route to work.
