Recent truck fires on A19 near Güstrow and A7 near Bad Hersfeld led to full road closures towards Berlin and Kirschheim respectively. The incidents resulted in significant damage, with no reported injuries.

In Güstrow, a burst tire sparked the fire, complicating extinguishing efforts due to the load of insulation panels. Meanwhile, repair works on the A38 at Weißenfels are ongoing after a truck carrying gas cylinders caught fire, melting the asphalt.

In Elmshorn, an electric bus fire disrupted rail traffic, prompting investigations into the incident's cause and structural integrity of the bridge. Emergency services are actively managing the situations to ensure public safety and restore normal traffic flow.
