Driver uninjured
Truck caught fire on A 2: lane closed for three hours
A truck driver had to stop on the A2 near Schäffern (Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district) on Thursday morning because smoke was suddenly coming out of his hood. The fire department was able to put out the fire, which was probably caused by a technical defect. The driver remained uninjured.
At around 10.30 a.m., the driver of a truck loaded with polyester and plastic parts noticed that a fire had broken out in the engine compartment. He was traveling on the A2 in the direction of Vienna and immediately stopped on the emergency lane near Schäffern. Using a fire extinguisher, he tried to prevent the fire from getting worse - a truck driver following behind helped him.
Technical defect was probably the cause
Shortly afterwards, the Pinggau volunteer fire department arrived with 14 firefighters and was able to finally extinguish the source of the fire. As it turned out, a technical defect was probably the cause. Fortunately, nobody was injured, but the truck had to be towed away. The first lane of the A2 was closed for three hours.
