Moment of shock on the B17 near Kinsau: while driving on Monday afternoon, the load on a truck caught fire.

The fire brigade prevented worse.

First report from May 23, 3:50 p.m.:

Kinsau – According to initial reports, the truck was coming from Landsberg on the B17.

Shortly before the Aral petrol station near Kinsau, a Schongau firefighter who happened to be driving behind the truck noticed that the trailer was smoking.

At his request, the truck driver stopped his vehicle in the parking lot opposite the gas station and uncoupled the trailer.

In order to be able to better extinguish the fire, the truck dumped the fire that had caught fire.

The firefighter and a gas station employee tried to put out the fire, but to no avail.

The fire brigades from Kinsau and Hohenfurch were only able to get the fire under control after the truck dumped the load.
