The motorist (60) was probably anything but happy when other road users pointed out to him that smoke was coming from his vehicle. He tried to put out the fire himself.
When the German (60) was alerted to the fact that smoke was coming from his car on the A13 on Thursday around 2.40 pm, he immediately drove away from Patsch and got out. He tried to put out the fire with a small fire extinguisher he had in the car.
Motorway exit completely closed for one hour
A witness alerted the fire department, who were eventually able to extinguish the flames. The vehicle was significantly damaged and had to be towed. The motorway exit was completely closed for about an hour. No one was injured.
