Vehicle blaze at Niederschöna: Access blocked due to burning truck on B173 highway.

In an unexpected incident on Friday afternoon, a truck fire occurred on the federal road B173 near Niederschoena, close to Falkenberger Straße.

The truck, carrying commercial waste, caught fire, causing a significant disruption. Fortunately, the truck driver was able to unhitch his vehicle before the fire spread, ensuring his safety.

Firefighters quickly responded to the scene, using hoses, water, and foam to fight the flames. Despite their efforts, the cargo of the truck was beyond saving.
