Emergency responders engaged in a moto collision incident on the A7 highway
On a Friday, a tour bus carrying a group of travelers from Saxony faced an unexpected incident when its rear engine caught fire as it travelled on the A7 Autobahn near Horster Triangle. Contrary to initial reports, the incident did not occur on the A1 towards Hamburg, but on the A7.
Fortunately, all passengers on the bus were able to evacuate safely, thanks to the quick thinking of the bus driver who managed to contain the fire using a fire extinguisher. The incident caused a slight disruption to traffic, with the A7 transition to the A1 towards Hamburg being reduced to one lane due to the fire response. However, the low traffic volume on the A7 prevented major delays.
Firefighters from Maschen and Fleestedt were promptly called to the scene to extinguish the fire. Upon arrival, they used a thermal imaging camera to inspect the engine compartment for any remaining hotspots. The follow-up operations were carried out to ensure the safety of the passengers and the surrounding area.
Despite the initial confusion about the location of the incident, the emergency services were able to respond quickly, ensuring a swift resolution to the situation.
