Chaos in early morning traffic
Truck on fire: kilometer-long traffic jam as a result
Early on Thursday morning, a truck suddenly caught fire on the Semmering expressway (S6) and caught fire. The incident caused a traffic jam that stretched for several kilometers in the early morning traffic.
This was announced by the ÖAMTC on Thursday. The road closure caused a traffic jam several kilometers long between Leoben West and Leoben East in the direction of Vienna, which lasted several hours.
Hours-long closure
Drivers needed a lot of patience, as the road closure remained in place for several hours. The all-clear was given shortly after 9 a.m. and the closure was lifted.
Cause of the fire unclear
The extinguishing and clearing work proved to be difficult. The cause of the blaze is still unclear.
Similar case on the A2
On Wednesday evening, also in Styria, a truck caught fire on the southern highway (A2) near Ligist. The vehicle, which was already parked on the hard shoulder, was badly damaged, fuel spilled onto the road and caught fire. 55 firefighters extinguished the fire. The Polish driver (58) was uninjured, according to the police.
A police district fire investigator determined that a technical defect in the vehicle was the possible cause of the fire.
