Overview
- Flames broke out Tuesday around 15:30 shortly after the Autobahnkreuz München-West on the Munich-bound A8.
- The driver steered onto the hard shoulder, took cover behind the guardrail, alerted responders, and was assessed without injuries.
- Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a rapid-attack hose and later foam to extinguish remaining hotspots.
- Operations lasted roughly 40 minutes with the carriageway toward Munich fully closed during the response.
- The Audi TT was largely destroyed by the fire, and no damage estimate has been released.
