GRAND COUNTY, Utah — A tour bus carrying dozens of students in Grand County, Utah was completely destroyed after catching fire early Friday.
Dozens of students from the Denver area were able to escape the bus before it was engulfed in flames, and no one was injured.
Utah Highway Patrol said that before the bus caught fire at mile marker 101 on State Route 191, there was an indication of a mechanical issue, leading the driver to pull over and evacuate the students. Shortly after everyone safely left the bus, it caught fire.
The road was shut down for about an hour while fire personnel put out the fire.
The local school district dispatched a bus to transport the students to a nearby junior high school in Moab, while the tour bus company sent its own bus to pick them up.
