Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:
Everyone aboard a school bus driving through Aurora Monday morning got out unharmed before the bus erupted in flames.
A First Student bus driver en route to Patterson Elementary School pulled over in after noticing smoke and immediately evacuated the four students who were on the bus. While the group waited outside for another bus to arrive, an apparent engine fire started.
Aurora police responded at about 8:27 a.m. but didn’t take criminal or traffic reports because it was just an engine fire and no one was injured, Lt. Jeffery Wiencek said.
