Munich: Truck burns on A99 - Exact location of accident initially unclear

The ILS therefore dispatched emergency services in both directions to be on site as quickly as possible. Since the A99 is in this area alternately on city and district area, the volunteer fire brigade Oberschleißheim was also informed. This is responsible for the district side, as the fire brigade announced.
