Car completely destroyed
Porsche suddenly caught fire while driving
The 63-year-old driver of the Porsche suddenly noticed the smell of burning in Gunskirchen (Upper Austria) and had the presence of mind to steer his vehicle from the district road into a cross street. Shortly afterwards, the classic car caught fire and was completely destroyed by the flames.
"The driver noticed that it smelled burnt. Then he turned off the district road. When he came to a standstill, he could already see flames coming out of the engine compartment. A short time later, the whole vehicle was on fire." This is how Günther Weissenböck, commander of the Fernreith fire department, describes the spectacular operation on Sunday morning in Gunskirchen.
The most important thing: the Porsche driver - who was alone in his car - was able to get out of his car in time, fortunately no one was injured. However, the vehicle burned out completely and was destroyed by the flames.
Only one lane of traffic
Three fire departments from Gunskirchen, Fernreith and Am Irrach with around 30 firefighters were alerted to the extinguishing work and were able to contain the fire quickly. As a result of the fire, the L1249 Grünbachtalstraße at Au near Sirfling was only passable in one lane for around three quarters of an hour, with the fire departments guiding traffic past on both sides.
