Vehicle fire on A5: Large -scale fire brigade near Hirschberg!

on Tuesday, around 1:30 p.m., there was an unfortunate incident on the A5 motorway between Hirschberg on Bergstrasse and the Kreuz Weinheim: a vehicle broke out on fire. According to the initial investigations by the police, a technical defect was the cause of the fire. This incident caused significant disabilities in traffic.

The fire brigade reacted quickly and immediately started the extinguishing work. During this time, the highway towards Darmstadt had to be completely closed for about 30 minutes. Such disorders are not unusual when it comes to fighting fire and ensuring security on the street.

Although the blocking could be lifted at around 2 p.m., the left lane remained accessible to around 4:45 p.m. due to towing work and cleaning measures. These circumstances naturally led to a backlog that affected many drivers.

The police will make further investigations to clarify the exact circumstances of the technical defect. The situation is an urgent reminder of how important regular vehicle inspections and maintenance are to avoid such incidents.
