This video shows a bus and car on fire after crashing this morning in Surrey. Both vehicles on fire were completely destroyed by the blaze. The collision involved two cars and a bus, but one of the cars managed to escape the flames. Luckily the accident wasn't fatal, with only one person being taken to St Helier Hospital with minor injuries. While the fire is out, drivers are still being urged to find alternative routes due to the damage to the road. The incident occurred on the A240 Kingston Road in Ewell, Surrey. According to police, the A240 north from Ruxley Lane to Mavis Avenue will be closed "for a long period of time." A video of the scene shows fire and ambulance crews in attendance.
