Drivers currently have to be very patient on Vienna's Gürtel. A car caught fire in the middle of the Lerchenfelder Gürtel. The traffic jam was not long in coming.

An attentive "Krone" reader reporter captured the car full of smoke on video at around 2 pm. Directly behind it, you can see how the traffic is becoming more and more congested. The fire has since been extinguished.

Operation still ongoing
Nevertheless, drivers between the AKH and Nußdorfer Straße can expect longer delays. The operation is still ongoing.

It is still unclear why the car in question caught fire. It is also still unclear whether there are any casualties.
