YORK, Neb. (AP) — Authorities in southeastern Nebraska say a man trying to smoke drugs in a bus bathroom accidentally set himself and the bus on fire. 

The York News-Times reports that the incident happened early Saturday aboard a Burlington Trailways bus on Interstate 80 in York County. 

Sheriff's officials say deputies and firefighters were called for reports of a motorcoach bus fire and found the bus on the side of the road. They put out a fire in the bus's bathroom with a fire extinguisher. 

Investigators say the fire was started by 33-year-old Aaron Ray, of Brunswick, Georgia, who suffered upper-body burns in the fire and was taken to a York hospital before he was arrested on suspicion of arson and possession of a controlled substance.
