NANAIMO — Drivers stuck in morning traffic saw quite the sight this morning after a car caught on fire. 

A car driving south through the Nanoose Flats hit a car turning onto the highway just before 8:30 a.m. The hit was so significant one of the cars burst into flame, police said. 

Thankfully both involved weren’t injured though they were taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital as a precaution. 

Southbound traffic was congested  for roughly an hour as Nanoose Volunteer Fire crews extinguished the blaze.

Police said no one will be charged.
