A coach caught fire on the M40 last night - with 32 children on board. 

Firefighters from High Wycombe, Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross were called to the northbound carriageway between Loudwater (junction 3) and Handy Cross (junction 4) just after 11pm on Monday night. 

Fortunately, the 32 children and six adults on board were safely evacuated from the coach before the blaze took hold. 

Fire crews battled the fire with hose reels, breathing apparatus and a water tanker.
