Non-league side Marine FC experienced a scare en route to their match against Hednesford Town as their team bus caught fire.
The Evo-Stik Premier League side made the 90-mile journey on Saturday, only for their coach to go up in flames prior to arriving at their destination.
Marine immediately reported on social media that all passengers were safe, before adding that everyone had made it to the stadium as they were close to Hednesford's Keys Park.
Indeed, the players and staff made it to the game in time for the 3pm kickoff.
The @MarineAFC team coach has gone on fire. Everyone is safe and off. We are quite near to Hednesford. To reiterate everyone is off the coach and fine pic.twitter.com/C2mGPhKagt

The team are now looking for the member of the public who reported the incident to the local fire brigade.
Marine sit 21st in the table, while Hednesford are still in with a chance of making the playoffs.
