VIDEOS: Dozens of St. Johns County residents headed to Tallahassee in support of building the Florida Museum of Black History in St. Augustine didn’t get very far Friday morning before they had an unexpected detour. Their charter bus caught fire on I-10, just west of the Glen St. Mary exit. Despite some dramatic photos, the more than 50 people on the bus were able to get off safely and no one was hurt. Greg White was on the bus and said the group believes one of the tires blew and caused a spark to ignite the engine. The group has moved to a staging area and will now take several vans to Tallahassee -- with a police escort from the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office. They are headed to Florida’s capital to help the St. Augustine committee make a case for choosing The Nation’s Oldest City to be the home of the Black History Museum.
