Drama on the A7: Car transporter burns and lame the highway!

Heidekreis. On Monday evening the horror on the A7 between Evendorf and Bispingen was tangible! A car transporter went up in flames while he was on the move on the highway. The fire spectacle started around 9:15 p.m. when an infernal fire suddenly broke out. The causes behind this drama are still a puzzle for the emergency services!

The driver, which was alerted by the emerging smoke development, quickly parked and was able to save a Mercedes from the trailer. But the flames mercilessly grabbed three of the eight invited vehicles and turned them into glowing wrecks. According to reports, a tire place could have been the trigger, but this theory has not yet been verified.

terrible consequences and hours of motorway closure!

The fire brigade bravely fought against the blazing flames. They used extinguishing foam while tank fire engines in commuting to the next rest area Düsten, as there were no hydrants available on the highway. The fire could only be deleted late at night. Unfortunately, the highway in the direction of Hanover suffered a disastrous fate and was blocked for numerous hours!

A crane picked up the already badly damaged vehicles in the dark from the transporter-including hybrid cars, which were put in special containers in order to exclude a renewed risk of fire through their batteries. The first estimates regarding property damage amount to over 100,000 euros. The damage to the asphalt is currently being determined, but the whole Situation remains precarious!
