Rear tire overheated
Articulated truck caught fire on the Pyhrn highway
A semi-trailer caught fire on Monday night on the Pyhrnautobahn before the Maisdorf Ost parking lot (Upper Austria). At 2.45 a.m., the left rear tire of the trailer burst, presumably due to overheating.
The 32-year-old driver tried to get to the parking lot but had to stop on the slow lane.
The Bosnian driver tried to prevent a larger fire with the hand-held fire extinguisher. When he failed to do so, he uncoupled the towing vehicle from the trailer. When the fire department arrived, the semi-trailer was already on fire.
Blockade for hours
The emergency services extinguished the fire, but the trailer and load were completely burnt out. The A9 was closed for three hours between Inzersdorf and Ried im Traunkreis in the direction of Wels.
