As the police explained to the “Krone”, all three lanes in the south had to be blocked. At least one lane was reopened to traffic around 2:30 p.m. Heavy traffic had previously stopped in the Wattens area on the A12 Inntalautobahn.
No one was injured in the fire, according to initial information. The cause of the fire is still unclear at this time. The Innsbruck professional fire brigade, the Patsch, Mutters, Igls and Wilten fire brigades and the Innsbruck airport fire brigade were deployed.
