Traffic chaos to truck fire on the B58: road closure until further notice

The B58 between Schermbeck in the Wesel district and the junction to the A31 was completely blocked as a result of a truck fire. A Wesel police spokesman confirmed that the truck had risen in flames in the early morning. The cause of the fire is attributed to a suspected technical defect. Fortunately, the driver was able to leave the burning vehicle unharmed.

The property damage incurred was initially not specified, but the police spokesman confirmed that the majority of the truck was destroyed. At the time the block was lifted, no definitive statement could be made because the examinations and cleanup were still underway. It is recommended to use alternative routes to bypass the affected section of the B58 until the closure is canceled.

The fire brigade and rescue workers were on site to combat the fire and ensure the security of the area. The police initiated investigations to clarify the exact cause of the fire outbreak and prevent further incidents of this kind. Details for the reopening of the street are updated over time to keep the affected road users up to date.
