The fire broke out around 12:30 PM between Rennweg and Gmünd, and the traffic jam behind it was already three kilometers long half an hour later, "with a rising tendency," reported the ÖAMTC.

Traffic was already stopped before the Katschberg Tunnel in the southbound direction. How the fire started and whether any people were injured was initially unclear, and the operation was still ongoing in the early afternoon.
