Truck on fire: S6 Semmering tunnel closed
The Semmering Tunnel on the Semmering Expressway (S6) in the Lower Austrian-Styrian border region was closed on Monday morning due to a truck fire. A total of nine fire departments with 78 members were deployed. The flames were quickly extinguished.
According to Neunkirchen district commander Josef Huber, the driver of the heavy goods vehicle and an Asfinag employee were considered to be slightly injured. Both were taken to hospital.
Road still closed in the direction of Mürzzuschlag
Five fire departments from Lower Austria and four from Styria were deployed. The flames were quickly brought under control. By late morning, the tunnel in the direction of Seebenstein was passable again. The closure in the direction of Mürzzuschlag would last "for some time" and into the afternoon hours, said Huber.
Woman had inhaled smoke fumes
Regarding the slightly injured Asfinag employee, Huber told APA that the woman had probably inhaled smoke fumes. The recovery and clean-up work was underway around midday. Operating fluids had to be bound and the truck burned out.
According to Marc Römer from ÖAMTC, the scene of the accident was between Maria Schutz (Neunkirchen district) and Spital am Semmering (Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district). A traffic jam stretched for kilometers.
