LYNNWOOD -- A northbound charter bus on Interstate 5 erupted in flames Tuesday night, but all 21 occupants got out of the vehicle safely, the Washington State Patrol said.
The fire brought northbound I-5 traffic to a halt and, after the blaze was extinguished, led to a large traffic backup on the highway.
The charter bus is operated by a firm out of Ferndale, the State Patrol said.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
