In the quiet hours of the night, the peaceful town of Idar-Oberstein was disrupted by an unexpected incident. Around midnight, the local fire department was called out to a blaze engulfing a small van parked on Wilhelmstraße.

Upon arrival, the firefighters found the vehicle fully ablaze, with the entire engine compartment already completely burned out. By the time they managed to extinguish the flames, there wasn't much left to save from the small van. As a result, the vehicle was declared a total loss.
