10:00, 04 October 2013
This is the moment a coach erupted into a fireball on the M25 in Kent last night.
Dartford fire crews were called out to the blazing double-decker, between J3 for Swanley and J4 for Dartford.
The fire, at about 6.35pm, sent thick black smoke billowing across the carriageway.
Firefighters used two hose reels and foam to fight the fire and left the scene at 8.13pm.
A Kent Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said a water unit was also sent to the scene.
Nobody was injured in the blaze, which caused delays for rush-hour commuters.
