Dramatic video footage has captured the moment a bus seems to be ablaze on the roadside as soccer enthusiasts make their way to Wembley. Reports from drivers on the M6 indicate that a bus is currently on fire near Coleshill Parkway in Birmingham.

The bus, reportedly en route to Wembley for the Arsenal vs. Manchester City game scheduled for 4:30 pm today, caught fire as described by a fan who was onboard. The fan recounted the incident, stating that the bus started smoking at a toll station, leading to the driver pulling over to the hard shoulder before the engine ignited into flames.

Emergency services managed to extinguish the fire, and all passengers safely evacuated the vehicle. However, the incident has caused significant delays for fans heading to the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

Authorities have closed sections of the M6 Toll in Warwickshire due to the aftermath of the coach fire. Efforts are underway to clear the road for normal traffic flow, but delays are expected. Football fans and motorists are advised to allow extra travel time due to the ongoing situation.

The coach company has confirmed the safety of all passengers and is cooperating with authorities to understand the circumstances surrounding the incident. As fans express frustration over the traffic disruptions, the hope for a timely kick-off at Wembley remains uncertain.
