The group were travelling across the bridge, which links Foster City and Hayward across the bay - when smoke came from the back of the limousine.
The driver pulled over and the vehicle quickly became engulfed in flames.

Three of the survivors were suffering from smoke inhalation and one had severe burns. They were rushed to hospitals.
Several lanes of the bridge were closed at around 10pm on Saturday as officers investigated the cause of the blaze.
One lane was reopened on Sunday.
