Overview

  • A lorry carrying insulation wool caught fire early Thursday on the A1 between Kreuz Lübeck and Reinfeld, triggering an initial full closure toward Hamburg.
  • One of three lanes on the A1 was reopened after about an hour, with ADAC reporting roughly three kilometres of congestion near Kreuz Lübeck.
  • On Wednesday, a burning trailer on the A7 near Fulda forced an hours-long shutdown before the carriageway was reopened and traffic normalized.
  • Police say the A7 trailer likely ignited due to a technical defect in the axle, the driver decoupled the unit on the hard shoulder, and 21 tonnes of worktops burned.
  • No injuries were reported in either incident, Autobahn GmbH managed diversions at Fulda-Nord, and police estimated A7 damage in the high five-figure range.
