UK Charter Bus Catches Fire
KENTUCKY....
The floor at the University Of Kentucky wasn't all that got hot for the Wildcats Saturday. A charter bus carrying UK fans to the Wildcats' game against LSU caught fire, but officials say no one was injured. The bus, traveling from Paducah to Lexington, caught fire at about 11:00 A.M. CST on the Western Kentucky Parkway. The driver saw smoke coming from a rear wheel, pulled over and got all 65 passengers off safely. By the time firefighters arrived, more than half the bus was engulfed in flames.
