Large bus fire causes closure of I-595 near Nob Hill Road

A vehicle fire caused major delays on a South Florida highway on Friday afternoon.

Sky 10 was over the scene on the westbound lanes of I-595 near the Nob Hill Road exit where a large bus could be seen on fire.

All westbound lanes of the highway were closed around 3 p.m. as firefighters worked to extinguish the fire.

At one point, what appeared to be a tour bus was seen completely engulfed in flames.

Police said around 50 passengers were able to evacuate the bus.

The fire has since been extinguished.

Authorities said no injuries were reported.
