The Clare City Fire Chief says a Clare County transit bus had just exited US 127 and was still on an exit ramp when smoke began to fill the cab.

It happened just after 2:00 Monday afternoon on exit 160, just north of Clare near Burger King.

The fire shut that exit down for two hours.

The fire chief says the driver immediately stopped the bus and everyone is safe.

The bus is destroyed though.

Emergency management and MDOT crews are working to soak up diesel that spilled onto the road.

The exit reopened just after 4:00 p.m.
