Word is that there were no kids on board this school bus that allegedly caught fire. Regardless, the Minneapolis Fire Department showed up and blocked the ramp from westbound 94 to Hennepin/Lyndale Avenues in downtown Minneapolis.

With that ramp closed, look for a jam forming as far back as Portland Avenue.
