Man City Fans' League Cup Final Journey Halted by Coach Fire

0:00On March 22nd, Manchester City fans heading to the league cup final faced a scary setback when their coach burst into flames on the M6 toll-in, Warwickshire. The fire broke out near Junction 3, forcing a southbound closure between Junctions 4 and 2. No one was hurt as passengers and the driver quickly evacuated. The group was en route to Wembley for the match against Arsenal set to star at 4.30 PM on March 22nd. City crews tackled huge flames and smoke while the road shut down caused massive backups for other travelers. Fans shared frustration over long delays with some stuck for over an hour before traffic started inching past the charred vehicle. Late departures from the Eddie had stadium added to the stress, leaving little time for stops on the way to London. Ridley coaches, the operator, confirmed everyone is safe and transferred to replacement buses to reach the stadium. Travelers are investigating the cause and they are thankful for the quick emergency response.
