A Los Angeles school bus caught fire on a freeway on Wednesday afternoon but all 23 students escaped without injury.
City fire spokeswoman Margaret Stewart said the driver noticed smoke while on U.S. 101 near Woodland Hills, The Associated Press reported.
She said the driver pulled to the freeway shoulder, where four adults helped nearly two dozen kids exit. No injuries were reported.
Television news footage showed the bus engulfed in flames. Westbound lanes were closed while crews doused the fire.
Officials say the bus served a private school.
