Hesse: Truck fire on the A45: the highway is closed and the driver is injured

Ehringshausen (dpa/lhe) - The driver was injured in a truck fire on Autobahn 45 and the section between Ehringshausen and Wetzlarer Kreuz was then closed. As the police announced early Wednesday morning, the truck loaded with medicine burned out. After a tire defect, the driver struck a concrete wall at a construction site, causing friction. This then started the fire. The driver tried to put out the fire and suffered smoke inhalation. Eventually, firefighters extinguished the fire.
