By this time, the entire stretch of the road is seen covered in flames and thick black smoke surrounding the spot. Moments later, the entire bus is seen engulfed in flames and smoke getting thicker.

However, firefighters reached the spot quickly and douse the fire.

The remains of the bus are seen in the final moments of the 22-second video.

Security cameras for the Buenos Aires police captured footage of the incident that took place on the General Paz highway.

Social media users were shocked by the footage. Some of them wanted to know if it was an electric bus. Others prayed for the well-being of those who escaped just in time.
