More than a dozen passengers escaped uninjured from a tour bus that caught fire early Saturday morning around 6 a.m., near the 5 freeway and 210 freeway interchange, according to CHP officials.

“(There were) approximately 15 people standing on the right shoulder,” said Officer Peter Nicholson with CHP’s traffic center. “Nobody was injured.”

Los Angeles County and city firefighters extinguished an auto fire that set a tour bus ablaze near Interstate 5 and 210 freeways around 6:32 a.m.

“(The call) came in at 6:08 a.m.,” said Supervising Fire dispatcher Cheryl Sims. “A tour bus on fire.”

“There was no ambulance attached to it,” said Sims, indicating no medical treatment was called for on scene, and nobody was transported to a hospital.

CHP officials are still investigating the cause of the collision initially receiving the call as a traffic collision, but then changing the report to a car fire.

“(The) roadway was completely clear by 8:45 this morning,” Nicholson said.
