A semi-trailer loaded with nine new cars burned out on Autobahn 3 in the Deggendorf district. This resulted in damage of an estimated 250,000 euros. The trigger for the full fire was a tire of the trailer truck, which caught fire on Saturday. A police spokesman said it was initially unclear why the tire caught fire. The driver therefore steered the semi-trailer truck with the burning tire onto a breakdown lane near Deggendorf and uncoupled the semi-trailer truck.

The road was completely blocked for the rescue in the direction of Passau. On Saturday afternoon, this lasted for several hours. At times it was backed up by up to 15 kilometers. Nobody was injured in the fire.
