Smell of burning noticed
Shortly before the tunnel: Car engine caught fire on the A2!
A 59-year-old man from Graz was driving towards Vienna on the A2 south highway in Carinthia on Monday evening when he suddenly noticed a strong smell of smoke. He was able to stop his car in time before a tunnel.
Shortly before the Gräberntunnel in the Wolfsberg district, the man from Graz stopped his car off the road because he had noticed the smell of burning at around 8.38 pm. He immediately informed the police, who noticed flames in the engine compartment when they arrived at the scene: "When the patrol arrived, flames were visible from the engine compartment," according to the provincial police headquarters.
No casualties
Until the fire departments - the Wolfsberg and Bad St. Leonhard fire brigades were alerted - arrived, the police officers tried to get the fire under control with the fire extinguisher in the company car. "The fire was finally extinguished by the fire department," it continues.
A total of 40 firefighters were deployed and the clean-up work was carried out by the Wolfsberg highway maintenance service.
