A coach fire caused traffic chaos on the M5 motorway in Somerset.
Smoke was spotted pouring from the engine of the coach as it drove north between junctions 23 (Bridgwater) and 22(Burnham-on-Sea) on Saturday morning.
Three ambulances and two fire engines were called to the scene, and paramedics treated passengers for the effects of smoke inhalation.
Two northbound lanes were closed, and traffic was at a standstill in both directions for some time.
