A VIDEO sent to us by Zeolda Little shows the scale of a coach fire near Ledbury yesterday (Wednesday).

Black smoke billowed into the air as a result of the blaze which happened on the A449 at Preston Cross, near Ledbury, shortly before 12.30pm. 

 

Luckily, no injuries were sustained by anyone on the coach, with fire crews using two hose reel jets, breathing apparatus and thermal image cameras to tackle the blaze. 

One lane of the A449 was temporarily closed, but was reopened an hour later.
