ATLANTA — A state DOC bus transporting 40 prisoners caught fire on the I-75.
The fire was attributed to a problem with the brakes, according to 13 WAMZ.
Witnesses say they saw heavy smoke from as far as a mile away, and there was evidence of heavy damage to the bus.
Prisoners were seen sitting by the side of the highway with officers from several law enforcement agencies keeping watch. There were no reports of injuries.
