At the last moment
Young couple rescued from burning car
Just in time, a 25-year-old was able to steer his burning car into a breakdown bay on the Innkreisautobahn and jump out of the vehicle together with his girlfriend (also 25) before the car became a victim of the flames.
The young couple - a 25-year-old from Germany and his partner (also 25) - were driving on the Innkreisautobahn A8 on Sunday. Near Meggenhofen, the couple's car suddenly caught fire in the engine compartment while they were driving. The fire was probably caused by a technical defect.
Embankment also caught fire
The 25-year-old drove into a breakdown bay, where the two occupants were able to leave the vehicle just in time. According to the police, the car was on fire shortly afterwards.
An embankment next to the road also caught fire and burned over an area of around ten square meters. The fire departments were able to tame the flames and extinguish the fire. The incident caused a considerable tailback of almost ten kilometers.
