The fire started in the area of the left rear axle of the semi-trailer. After a motorist alerted to the smoke development, the 48-year-old driver from Romania immediately stopped. He was unable to bring the flames under control. Subsequently, the driver uncoupled the tractor unit from the trailer, which was almost fully ablaze when officers from the Schwechat motorway police arrived.
