Vehicle fire on the BAB 6: VW Golf in flames - drivers remain intact

In the night of Tuesday, at 01:20 a.m., a dramatic vehicle fire was registered on Autobahn 6 between the Motabahn Crosses Viernheim and Mannheim. A VW Gulf of a 26-year-old was on fire after a technical defect had triggered the fire. Fortunately, the driver managed to park the car on the hard shoulder in good time and escape unharmed.

The Mannheim professional fire brigade, with 12 emergency services on site, reacted quickly and quickly brought the fire under control. Nevertheless, the right and temporarily the middle lanes had to be closed towards the south, which led to low traffic impairments. The property damage to the vehicle is estimated at around 5000 euros.
