The northbound lanes on the Trans-Canada Highway, just east of the Millstream turnoff near Thetis Lake, are reopened following a bus fire Friday afternoon.
Langford Fire responded to the call around 1:40pm. Photos submitted to Victoria Buzz show flames and black smoke coming from the rear end of the vehicle.
There were no passengers on the bus at the time and the driver walked away with no injuries.
Traffic backed up on #TCH NB at least as far back as McKenzie due to bus fire just south of Millstream turnoff. #yyjtraffic
