Bus Loaded with Marines Catches Fire in Monteagle

A bus fire on Interstate 24 near Monteagle snarled traffic on Labor Day morning.
About 40 people were aboard the bus, which overheated and caught fire near mile marker 136 on top of Monteagle Mountain. The 40 people were Marines who were en route to Nashville.
No injuries were reported, but the westbound lanes of I-24 were closed while the burned bus was cleared from the interstate.
A lot of drivers sought alternate routes until the Tennessee Highway Patrol and fire crews gave the all clear.
