The Brenner motorway A13 near Matrei had to be completely closed on Tuesday morning. The background is a truck fire. According to Asfinag, the handicaps are likely to persist for a long time. Several firefighters were present.
The Florianijüngers had their hands full from 10 a.m. on the Brenner highway A13 near Matrei. The reason for this was a truck fire involving two vehicles. “The fire started in the direction of Innsbruck, but due to the enormous smoke development, both directions are currently closed. The firefighting operation on site is currently in full swing and ASFINAG is also working on the possibility of setting up a single-lane traffic system so that traffic can flow,” said press spokesman Alexander Holzedl in a press release.
Dangerous goods on one of the vehicles
According to initial information, the vehicle involved was transporting dangerous goods. “It is probably palm oil that has now polluted the road due to the fire.” According to the spokesperson, the nuisance in this area will probably continue in the long term.
