A coach carrying 20 fifth-grade
students and three teachers on a trip to Turin's Egyptian Museum
caught fire near Milan Thursday but no one was hurt.
The driver was briefly hospitalised after inhaling fumes from
the wheel that caught fire and exploded .
The fire was probably caused by brakes overheating, police
said.
"The brakes probably over-heated and set fire to the wheel,
and then the fire spread to the engine," they said.
The occupants got out of the vehicle before the fire spread
and gutted it, they said.
