Video and pics: The Worcester Warriors’ team bus went up in flames on the way to a game today

The team bus for the Worcester Warriors caught fire on the way to a friendly against the Ospreys today. Thankfully, everyone involved is alright.

Earlier today, there was a post on the official Worcester Warriors Twitter account saying that they were awaiting confirmation that today’s friendly with the Ospreys was cancelled after the team bus caught fire on the way to the game.

We are still waiting for official confirmation that today's game has been cancelled. All updates will be posted here and on our website. — Worcester Warriors (@WorcsWarriors) August 24, 2013

  A video of the bus engulfed in flames on the side of the road was captured by a passer-by on the M5 while former Munster player Paul Warwick was one of a number of people present to take a picture, but thankfully none of the players, backroom staff or anyone on the bus was hurt and after discussions involving both sides, it was decided that the game should go ahead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qvEZ4Wp-dA&feature=youtu.be
