M6 toll road closed all day because of an electronic cigarette

[Earl]

I'd be fucking fuming.

A fake cigarette prompted armed police to swoop on a coach on the M6 Toll road and close the motorway for more than four hours.

Forty eight passengers on the Megabus Preston to London service were led off the coach and forced to sit apart in a cordon on the opposite carriageway.

The road was closed near Lichfield before police said they were no longer treating the incident as suspicious.

Police said they received a "genuine report" of vapour escaping from a bag.

I've got one of those, there's no way it should be able to produce vapour unless you sick on it.

Do you mean suck?

[FreeBBC]

Well done to the police and the army for doing their jobs on delaying the passengers journey.

[Major Starbold]

Holy smokes.
