Drama on the A24: Mercedes SUV in Talkau ablaze!
Last Sunday morning there was a dangerous incident on Autobahn 24 near Talkau, which luckily ended lightly. According to a report by LN Online A Mercedes SUV burst into flames after the driver noticed a jerk shortly after the Talkau junction. Presumably due to a technical defect, he drove his vehicle into the Tramm rest area, where smoke was already rising.
The driver, who was uninjured, was able to get out of the burning car in time. The Talkau fire department and the Elmenhorst unit were alerted at 5:40 a.m. During their arrival, the emergency services saw a large cloud of smoke, which indicated the seriousness of the situation. When we arrived on site, the Mercedes was already fully engulfed in flames.
Rapid intervention by the fire department
The firefighters quickly got the fire under control, but due to a lack of hydrants in the rest area, the Elmenhorst fire department was also called in to provide support. The fire was fought quickly, but not without challenges, as a visible trace of oil behind the vehicle also indicated a possible engine burst. This was then scattered to minimize the risk of slipping for other road users. The operation lasted a total of around an hour until the fire was completely extinguished.
By the way, just a few hours earlier there was another incident on the same highway. A serious accident also occurred on the A24 in the direction of Hamburg on Saturday evening at around 9:40 p.m. The driver of an Audi R8 V10 lost control for unknown reasons and crashed into the central barrier. Fortunately, this driver was also able to get out without any major injuries, but was examined by emergency services. The police have already started an investigation into the exact cause of the accident, it is reported MOPO.
