Airport shuttle van burns after dropping off passengers

WARWICK - No one was hurt when a 21-passenger airport shuttle van caught fire and sustained heavy damage on Route 95 at about 2 p.m. today.

Just after the driver had dropped off all 21 passengers at T.F. Green Airport and was traveling south on the highway near exit 12, other drivers motioned for the driver to pull over, said state police Lt. David S. Neill.

The van quickly became engulfed in flames. The driver, from Liberty Limousine, was unharmed. The cause of the fire was unknown. All four southbound lanes were closed briefly, while the accident was cleared, Neill said.
