A caravan being towed behind a car has burst into flames, causing traffic to grind to a halt on the Bruce Hwy in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
It is believed that a gas bottle in the van exploded. No one was injured in the incident yesterday, although the southbound lanes of the highway were blocked and traffic was being diverted down Bli Bli Rd towards Bli Bli or via Nambour to Forest Glen.
It took emergency services about an hour to clear the mess and for the road to re-open.
