Allach: Full fire on the hard shoulder – Jaguar completely destroyed
A99 – Allacher Tunnel – A Jaguar was completely destroyed in a car fire on the Autobahn today.
Even while emergency services were being alerted to a development of smoke from a car on the hard shoulder shortly after the Allach Tunnel, further calls were received by the Munich control center. The fire engine of the Munich fire brigade that arrived first immediately reported a full fire in a car on the hard shoulder. While the extinguishing measures were being initiated, the emergency vehicles arrived at the scene of the fire and intensified the extinguishing measures.
The fire was quickly under control and contained. Nevertheless, the Jaguar X-Type was a total loss. Fortunately, the 21-year-old driver was able to park the vehicle on the hard shoulder and get out unharmed. Behind the crash barrier, she had to watch as her mother’s vehicle burned down.
For the duration of the firefighting and clean-up work, there were significant traffic obstructions in the direction of Stuttgart.
The fire brigade appears to be assuming the vehicle was a total loss. The roadway of the A99 was also damaged. The police are investigating the cause of the fire, which is currently unclear.
