- Highway 2 Witnesses a Vehicle Fire - No Reported Casualties
A vehicle went up in flames on the A2 close to Dortmund. The four individuals inside managed to get out unscathed and with a jolt, as per the fire department's evening update. The plume of smoke from the fully engulfed vehicle was discernible from a distance.
During the firefighting efforts, the A2 had to be momentarily shut down completely, as the smoke reduced sightlines for other motorists. Once the firefighters arrived on the scene, the passengers were already being attended to by emergency responders. The incident took approximately an hour to resolve. The authorities are currently probing the origin of the blaze.
The incident caused a temporary closure of the nearby Highway A2 due to the smoky conditions. After the fire was extinguished, traffic was slowly permitted to resume on the Highway.
