22 tons of cheese were destroyed Thursday evening in a truck fire near Trieben (Liezen district) on the Pyhrn motorway (A9). The 62-year-old driver noticed a fire on a defective tire of the trailer and stopped on the hard shoulder. The flames spread to the side walls. He attempted to fight the fire with a fire extinguisher but failed. Ultimately, the fire department extinguished the flames. The Greek driver remained uninjured, according to the police on Friday.
